<p>First you follow the instructions for <a class="reference internal" href="forking_hell.html#forking"><span class="std std-ref">Making your own copy (fork) of Matplotlib</span></a>.</p>

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

<div class="highlight-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git clone https://github.com/your-user-name/matplotlib.git

<span class="nb">cd</span> matplotlib

git remote add upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git

</pre></div>

</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 <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">clone</span>

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

</li>

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

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

like:</p>

<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>* master

remotes/origin/master

</pre></div>

</div>

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

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

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

see the URLs for the remote. They will point to your github fork.</p>

<p>Now you want to connect to the upstream <a class="reference external" href="https://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-bash notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">cd</span> matplotlib

git remote add upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git

</pre></div>

</div>

<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">upstream</span></code> 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="https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib">Matplotlib github</a>.</p>

<p>Note that we've used <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git://</span></code> for the URL rather than <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">https://</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git@</span></code>. The

<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git://</span></code> URL is read only. This means 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>Just for your own satisfaction, show yourself that you now have a new

'remote', with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git</span> <span class="pre">remote</span> <span class="pre">-v</span> <span class="pre">show</span></code>, giving you something like:</p>

<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>upstream git://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib.git (fetch)

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

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

origin https://github.com/your-user-name/matplotlib.git (push)
