Linking remote n local repos

Linking your local fork to a upstream repo

1. Fork the repo which you want to work on by pressing fork button on github.com

2. Git clone your fork

   $ git clone git@github.com:username/upstream-repo-name.git
   

3. change to go in the repository

   $ cd upstream-repo-name
   

4. Now we link our local repo to the central (upstream repo) in order to pull changes from there

   $ git remote add upstream git@github.com:upstream-repo-name/upstream-repo-name.git
   

5. Now, verify if the remote is indeed been added

   $ git remote -v
