[git] How do I update a GitHub forked repository?

How to update your forked repo on your local machine?

First, check your remote/master

git remote -v

You should have origin and upstream. For example:

origin  https://github.com/your___name/kredis.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/your___name/kredis.git (push)
upstream    https://github.com/rails/kredis.git (fetch)
upstream    https://github.com/rails/kredis.git (push)

After that go to main:

git checkout main

and merge from upstream to main:

git merge upstream/main
