<h2>Overview<a class="headerlink" href="#overview" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

<div class="highlight-python"><pre>git clone git@github.com:your-user-name/matplotlib.git

cd matplotlib

git remote add upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git</pre>

</div>

<h2>In detail<a class="headerlink" href="#in-detail" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>

<h3>Clone your fork<a class="headerlink" href="#clone-your-fork" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

<li><p class="first">Clone your fork to the local computer with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">clone</span>

<span class="pre">git@github.com:your-user-name/matplotlib.git</span></tt></p>

</li>

<li><p class="first">Investigate. Change directory to your new repo: <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cd</span> <span class="pre">matplotlib</span></tt>. Then

<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">branch</span> <span class="pre">-a</span></tt> to show you all branches. You’ll get something

like:</p>

<div class="highlight-python"><pre>* master

remotes/origin/master</pre>

</div>

<p>This tells you that you are currently on the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">master</span></tt> branch, and

that you also have a <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">remote</span></tt> connection to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">origin/master</span></tt>.

What remote repository is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">remote/origin</span></tt>? Try <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">remote</span> <span class="pre">-v</span></tt> to

see the URLs for the remote. They will point to your <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com">github</a> fork.</p>

<p>Now you want to connect to the upstream <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib">matplotlib github</a> repository, so

you can merge in changes from trunk.</p>

</li>

</ol>

</div>

<span id="linking-to-upstream"></span><h3>Linking your repository to the upstream repo<a class="headerlink" href="#linking-your-repository-to-the-upstream-repo" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>

<div class="highlight-python"><pre>cd matplotlib

git remote add upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git</pre>

</div>

<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">upstream</span></tt> here is just the arbitrary name we’re using to refer to the

main <a class="reference external" href="http://matplotlib.org">matplotlib</a> repository at <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib">matplotlib github</a>.</p>

<p>Note that we’ve used <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git://</span></tt> for the URL rather than <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git@</span></tt>. The

<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git://</span></tt> URL is read only. This means we that we can’t accidentally

(or deliberately) write to the upstream repo, and we are only going to

use it to merge into our own code.</p>

<p>Note this command needs to be run on every clone of the repository

that you make. It is not tracked in your personal repository on

<a class="reference external" href="http://github.com">github</a>.</p>

<p>Just for your own satisfaction, show yourself that you now have a new

‘remote’, with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">remote</span> <span class="pre">-v</span> <span class="pre">show</span></tt>, giving you something like:</p>

<div class="highlight-python"><pre>upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git (fetch)

upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git (push)

origin git@github.com:your-user-name/matplotlib.git (fetch)

origin git@github.com:your-user-name/matplotlib.git (push)</pre>
