Hi,
So you have forked the NetBeans repository at
https://github.com/lbownik/netbeans, and you've cloned it to a directory
in your laptop using "git clone", or something similar.
This means that your clone (in your laptop) has a "remote" pointing to
your repository.
This "remote" is usually called "origin" by default. If you run "git
remote -v" (to see the remotes) you should see something like:
----
$ git remote -v
origin g...@github.com:lbownik/netbeans.git (fetch)
origin g...@github.com:lbownik/netbeans.git (push)
----
With git you can have different remotes. We usually create another
remote (let's call it "upstream", but you can call it as you want)
pointing to Apache NetBeans directly:
----
git remote add upstream https://github.com/apache/netbeans.git
----
Now if you list the remotes again you'll see something like:
----
$ git remote -v
origin g...@github.com:lbownik/netbeans.git (fetch)
origin g...@github.com:lbownik/netbeans.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/apache/netbeans.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/apache/netbeans.git (push)
----
After one PR is merged to master you want to synchronize the "master"
branch in g...@github.com:lbownik/netbeans.git with the "master" branch
in https://github.com/apache/netbeans.git. You do this as follows:
----
$ git fetch --all # fetches changes from all remotes
$ git checkout master # You move to _your_ master barnch
$ git merge upstream/master # You incorporate the changes from NetBeans
$ git push origin master # You update _your_ master branch
----
Now _your_ master branch (in your repo) is synchronized with NetBeans'
master branch.
You now want to create some other patch, you usually do that in a new
branch, branching from your updated master, like so:
----
$ git checkout master
$ git checkout -b the-name-of-your-branch
----
And you create new commits or whatever in 'the-name-of-your-branch', You
then submit your PR as usual.
HTH,
Antonio
