Automatically sync a branch on your fork with the latest commits from the original repo. It should work to keep any two branches in sync. Keep all your things up to date! Support This Project This project is not currently in active development, but code contributions are always welcome. I encourage you to share projects using Fork Sync in the Users file. Open a PR against Users so others can check out your work! USERS.md If you would like to see more updates to this project, please consider taking a brief survey to help me understand your needs. Thank you, and happy coding. Fork Sync - Developer Survey Intended Workflow This action was made to keep non-working branches up to date with a remote repo. However, you should also be able to use it for branches under active development as long as the custom input supports your needs. Configure the action with a branch on your target repo - the one you want to update - and a branch on your upstream repo - where the updates are coming from. This action checks out those branches on both repos, checks for any new commits (by hash comparison), and pulls those new commits from upstream to the target. Easy! How to Use Add a workflow to your repo that includes this action (sample below). Please note that scheduled workflows only run on the default branch of a repo. Input Variables Name Required?
