    If you update your Cameron side code, is there a way to have it updated in the forked version? I want to make a repo people can clone that is just a subset of my main repo, but that also stays up to date.

    • @ashrafulbari561
      @ashrafulbari561 Рік тому

      I think that is where you create the PullRequest. You update the code from the Cameron side after you forked the code , create a pull request which will notify Cameron. Cameron looks at the code and Merge the request.
      Correct me if I am wrong! Thanks

    thank you, this is what i've been looking for.
    i googled this and it just says "A fork creates a completely independent copy" or "you have full access something something", like what does that really mean. i also have full access of the clone and make it my independent project too.
    it should just say *fork allow you to make a pull request (contribute) to the original repository if you are not a member of the original*

    This is exactly the summary I was looking for. Thank you. I think only one thing missing: can the fork from jheguevara take/accept future changes done on the original repo from cameronmcnz ? that would allow the fork to stay updated while allowing me to have my own changes ?

    instead of using fork, couldn't one just clone another's repo and create your own repo and change the origin to the newly created repo? Is the fork a more efficient version of this?

    • @flesz_
      @flesz_ 2 роки тому

      I think when you fork it the origin changes to your own repo.
      I did the same initially, cloned the repo and changed origin to my own, but I think that was unnecessary hassle
