✍️ How to update a local repo with new changes made to a forked repo on GitHub?

1. List the current configured remote repository for your fork:
   • $ git remote -v
2. Specify a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork:
   • $ git remote add upstream {github url of repo you forked from}
3. Verify the new upstream repository you’ve specified for your fork.
   • $ git remote -v
4. Fetch the changes from the upstream remote:
   • $ git fetch upstream
5. Pull the changes down from the upstream remote:
   • $ git pull upstream main
