[SOLVED] - OMG Github Sync

[MackeyK24]

This is just me complaining (because i know no better )...

BUT OH MY GOOD GITHUB... Why is it SOOOOO complicated to keep up-to-date with a fork... I go look at how to keep up to date with my fork and its HALF a page of a bunch of command line this and command like that... or setup this and that... WHY IS THERE NO BUTTON I HIT that just "Brings me up-to-date"

It is WAY easier for my just to delete the fork and re-fork for a clean copy... That can't be the only way to get cleanly caught up.. IS IT

Hey Mackey! It's easy actually! Just type this: 

git remote add upstream https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js.git

Everything is explained here: http://pixelcodr.com/tutos/contribute/contribute.html

Exactly !!!

All this stuff:

An upstream link will help you retrieve all last changes from the official Babylon.js project. For this, we will follow this github tutorial:

> cd Babylon.js
> git remote -v
    origin  https://github.com/Temechon/Babylon.js.git (fetch)
    origin  https://github.com/Temechon/Babylon.js.git (push)
> git remote add upstream https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js.git
> git remote -v
    origin  https://github.com/Temechon/Babylon.js.git (fetch)
    origin  https://github.com/Temechon/Babylon.js.git (push)
    upstream        https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js.git (fetch)
    upstream        https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js.git (push)
Fetch the very last version

Ok! Now you're ready to retrieve all changes from the official repo. Each time you want to add a new feature, a bug fix, anything, you have to ensure you are working on the very last version. To do this, follow this Github tutorial:

> git fetch upstream
> git checkout master
> git merge upstream/master

 

I guess I'm just too lazy for all that... No button 

 

@Temechon Thanks for the info though  And Yo... HELLA SWEET DEBUG INSPECTOR... VERY KOOL

BTW, if you use this - https://desktop.github.com/ (windows / mac) there is actually a button to do exactly that!

But this is an over-simplified client with very little features. Everything has upsides and downsides.
