**Note:** *The examples below all reference the master branch*
Before the Syncing
------------------

From time to time, your master branch will start to fall behind the upstream/master because changes are being pulled into the `xcat2/xcat-core`` project from other developers.

Use the following steps to sync up your forked copy:
Update the **master branch** of your forked copy from xcat2/xcat-core
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Fetching commits from upstream to your local
--------------------------------------------
#. Pull the ahead commits from the ``upstream master`` to your local master branch. ::
#. Fetch the upstream changes for the master branch. (changed are stored in a local branch: ``upstream/master``) ::
$ git pull upstream master
remote: Counting objects: 38, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (15/15), done.
remote: Total 38 (delta 14), reused 9 (delta 9), pack-reused 14
Unpacking objects: 100% (38/38), done.
From github.com:xcat2/xcat-core
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD

From github.com:xcat2/xcat-core
* [new branch] master -> upstream/master
#. Push the commits from your local master to your forked copy in GitHub: ::
#. Switch to your master branch and merge from upstream/master: ::
$ git push origin master
$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
$ git merge upstream/master

Pushing the merged changes from your local to your remote fork
--------------------------------------------------------------
After the Syncing
-----------------
The following is needed to push the changes that you merged from upstream into your local clone on your development machine to the remote GitHub repository.
#. Sync the changes in your master branch to GitHub: ::
$ git push origin master
Your fork master branch should now be even with ``xcat2/xcat-core``
