Keeping forks syncronised (OD-1085)

Unknown opened 3 years ago

Hello,

A while back I forked onedev/server so that I could work on the possibility of contributing, however I have been busy over the last month or so and didn't end up doing anything. However now the repository is out of sync, and I can't seem to find out how to actually sync it with upstream.

Advice on how to do this would be helpful, I would rather not do the old strategy of pulling onedev/server and then pushing it to my fork :/

Just create a pull request from original to your fork and merge it.

@robin is there no better way to do this?

Github has a feature where you can sync the branches, but OneDev does not. Spamming pull requests does not seem like a good way to do this. Does OneDev have no way of syncronising with the parent?

If you don't like to use pull request to sync things, you may set up in your account project (the project named after your account name) a CI job to sync child repositories with other repositories. Check out below for details:

This way you can have the job run periodially or run it manually as necessary.
