My workflow is exactly this, except that I have my own fork under the name "origin", and the upstream as "upstream". I then tell have these two commands (script/alias): branch: git fetch upstream master:master git checkout -b "$1" master push: git push -u origin `git symbolic-ref --short HEAD` To work on something: $ branch issueNNNN-whatever-branch-name ... make edits ... $ git commit ... $ push And then use the web UI to submit the PR. (There are alternatives to that, but I don't do enough to justify them.) The 'branch' command does a network transaction, so it'll take a bit of time. But it's the easiest way to make sure I never forget to update to the latest upstream. If in doubt, script it :) ChrisA _______________________________________________ core-workflow mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/core-workflow This list is governed by the PSF Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct
