Updating your fork
Your fork is a copy of the original repository and it doesn't automatically receive updates when changes are made.
To get the latest changes from SSWConsulting/SSW.Rules.Content into your fork, you will need to sync them manually.
Below are two ways of updating your fork with the original repository.
- Clone the fork to your local machine with git by running the below command, replacing
YOUR-USERNAME
with your GitHub account name.
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/SSW.Rules.Content
- Add the main branch of SSWConsulting/SSW.Rules.Content as a remote
cd SSW.Rules.Content
git remote add --track main upstream git://github.com/SSWConsulting/SSW.Rules.Content.git
- Pull the latest changes from SSWConsulting/SSW.Rules.Content and merge them into your fork
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git merge upstream/main
- Push your updated fork to GitHub
git pull
git push
- Done! Your fork is now up to date
- Navigate to your fork of SSW.Rules.Content

- Click "New pull request"
This screen may look familiar as this is how we normally make a Pull Request from our fork back to the base Repository.
We want to reverse this so that any changes that have been made on SSWConsulting/SSW.Rules.Content are synced with our fork.
To do this we will create a Pull Request back into our fork.

You'll receive a message saying "There isn't anything to compare". This is because our source and destination are the same.
