updating a fork from a branch

GitHub Help How to use Git and GitHub
#1

Hi all,

first, thanks to everyone that answered my last question, was very much appreciated.

This is almost, but not quite, the same sort of question.

Programmer X owns the master branch. Programmer Z owns a branch of that master. I have a fork of Programmer Z’s branch. He’s merged my changes to his branch, but he’s made other changes and now I need an updated fork of his branch.

Can I do this from the command line, if so, how?

If I have to use github’s gui, then how do I do this? I really don’t want to delete my fork and refork from his branch.

Hi @crystalwizard,

Thank you for being here! What you are describing is merging your changes to the feature branch. 

$ git checkout feature
$ git merge master
