Fork and clone ​

This is the repeatable starting point for a pull request to the registry repository.

1. Fork on GitHub ​

Open the Pets registry repository, select Fork, keep your account as the owner, and create the fork.

Your fork will look like:

text
https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/pets

Replace YOUR-USERNAME in the commands below with your GitHub username.

2. Clone your fork ​

bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/pets.git
cd pets

3. Add the official repository as upstream ​

bash
git remote add upstream https://github.com/pets-registry/pets.git
git remote -v

You should see:

  • origin pointing to your fork.
  • upstream pointing to pets-registry/pets.

4. Start from current main ​

bash
git fetch upstream
git switch main
git reset --hard upstream/main

Only use reset --hard here if you have no uncommitted work on your local main branch. Create a branch before making changes.
