Git: Updating a forked repository from the original repository

Let's take a scenario:

This is the remote repository: https://github.com/apache/mystudio.git

Your forked repository from the above:  https://github.com/kolipakakondal/mystudio.git

'development' is the branch name both in remote and forked repository.

1. Add remote repository to forked repository

>git remote add upstream https://github.com/apache/mystudio.git

2.  Fetch from remote repository .i.e upstream

> git fetch upstream

3. Rest your branch(ex: development) to the remote branch(ex: development)

> git reset --hard upstream/development

4. Pushed changes which we got it form remote repo to remote forked repo.

> git push origin  development --force
