Sync the fork

List the current configured remote repository for your fork.

$ git remote -v

Specify a new remote upstream repository that will be synced with the fork.

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/UMONS-GFA/ardas.git

Fetch the branches and their respective commits from the upstream repository. Commits to master will be stored in a local branch, upstream/master.

$ git fetch upstream

Merge the changes from upstream/master into your local master branch. This brings your fork's master branch into sync with the upstream repository, without losing your local changes.

$ git merge upstream/master
