Question

This is a noob question, but I forked a project and made few edits to it. So now I wish to do the following,

Step 1:

Update the forked project with my changes from Machine 1. is it possible to update forked project and keep the original (master) untouched?

Step 2:

pull the updated fork to machine 2.

Also when I forked the project, I forked it using the online portal and manually downloaded the tarball.
So can I update the forked project??

Both Machine 1 and machine 2 have there SSH keys in the GitHUB

Answer 1

When you forked the project, github created a copy of repository under your account. You should be able to pull it using

git clone [e-mail]:[your user name]/[repository name].git

Then when you make your changes, you’d commit them and push the updates to github:

git push origin master

Once you did that, repeat cloning of the repository on your second machine which will then have the up-to-date version of the repository.
