NOTE: commands are to be executed on Linux, Mac, and Windows(using Powershell)

You need to clone (download) it to local machine using

3. Set it up ⬆️

Run the following commands to see that your local copy has a reference to your forked remote repository in Github

$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/Your_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (push)

Now, let's add a reference to the original CodeAsylums-App repository using

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/HakinCodes/CodeAsylums-App.git

This adds a new remote named upstream.

See the changes using

$ git remote -v
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/Remote_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (push)

In your case, you will see

$ git remote -V
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (fetch)
origin    https://github.com/Your_Username/CodeAsylums-App.git (push)
upstream  https://github.com/HakinCodes/CodeAsylums-App.git (fetch)
upstream  https://github.com/HakinCodes/CodeAsylums-App.git (push)

4. Sync it ♻️
