I’m not aware of a fork being used for much more than spec PRs.Or traditional _git_ commands -- whatever. :) Personally, I find that when working with forks of something where I'm a casual contributor, I end up doing this a lot: git remote add upstream https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs git fetch upstream git reset --hard upstream/master (repeat last two steps)I'm sure places like github have docs on this too, but pagure also does: https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/forks.html Sorry to say that, but I consider this page ill advised. E.g. suggesting to do: ~~~ $ git clone ssh://git@xxxxxxxxx/forks/jcline/pagure.git~~~ is totally wrong IMO. I would go as far as saying you should never "git clone" forked repository. You should always "git clone" the upstream and then add the remote for your fork if you need. The main reason is because you want to follow your upstream. You want to be able to "git pull" from the master branch and get the latest and greatest. That is where the development happens. Your fork is mostly just tool enabling you to send PR and that happens typically just once in a while if ever. Vít There's one big gotcha to note with forks on src.fedoraproject.org: You have to be in the packager group to push changes to anything there (including forks) at least for now. We want to change this, but it will require a fair bit of shifting things around. You can still of course make a copy of the repo on any other public place (pagure.io, github, gitlab, etc) and file "remote pull requests" in the mean time.Because I don't really want to keep a long-lived fork with local changes and differences and merge. Possibly fedpkg could grow something smart around this?Possibly. It's also worth noting that some people use a workflow like: * fork project * make changes, submit PR * delete fork that way the next time you can just refork it and be set. kevin |
