How to update a forked repo with git rebase

This is a copy from Jill Cates article How to update a forked repo with git rebase.

Step 1: Add the remote (original repo that you forked) and call it “upstream”

git remote add upstream https://github.com/original-repo/goes-here.git

Step 2: Fetch all branches of remote upstream

git fetch upstream

Step 3: Rewrite your master with upstream’s master using git rebase.

git rebase upstream/master

Step 4: Push your updates to master. You may need to force the push with --force.

git push origin master --force
