Re: [andmore-dev] Keeping your forked Repository Synched

[Ricardo Gladwell <ricardo.gladwell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think the Github/git conventio might be the problem here: when you fork the master origin usually points to the fork not the upstream project. Developers are used to running “git pull” so they often miss updates from upstream.

I think its better practice for developers working with forks to link their master to upstream. Perhaps by cloning the original upstream project first and then forking and adding their fork remote *after*.
