Git Remote Basics and Merge Remote

git remote -v
git remote rm __REPO__

• Add external (remote) repo with name __NAME__

git remote add __NAME__ __REPO__

By convention, “origin” is the original remote repository, it is the primary centralized repository as well.

git remote show origin       # show repo URL

Merge remotes

git clone __REPO1__
git remote add __MAIN__ __REPO2__ 
git fetch __MAIN__
git checkout -b master __REPO2__/master
git checkout master

Then

• merge mainStreamMaster to your master,
• OR rebase your master on top of mainStreamMaster (in order to integrate the full history of mainStreamMaster into your master branch) then make some evolutions to master (or to a topic-specific branch) that you can push to yourRemoteRepo.
