Sync Upstream
ActionsTags
(2)Sync changes from an upstream repository branch into a current repository branch. For example, updating changes from the repository that was forked from.
Current limitations:
- only merge only selected branch
- only work with public upstream Github repository
- command is
git rebase upstream/branch
To sync multiple branches, create multiple jobs.
copy and commit this to .github/workflows/sync-upstream.yml in your default branch of your repository.
