state of being up to date after accepting a pull-request and branches #21677

Hello, on a new github project I created 2 new branches next to master - “contrib” which is meant for contributions of other people and “remote” that is accepting my changes from at home. But when people fork master, do changes and send a pull-request it will end up in master, right? Or will there be a way to select in which branch the changes go? And lets say I merged everything into master will the other two branches be up to date automatically? Thanks in advance, P. |

Also, publish your changes to the remote by using “git push” from time to time. For instance your workflow may look something like this:
I hope this helps! I look foward to other folk advise on best practice here. For us the GitHub flow is the norm. |
