connect my local git repository with github forked repository? -


i created private & local repository using git clone --bare $upstream (detailed here how create git repository on server github server?)

at time, didn't think contributing original github repo. ($upstream)
, found out pull requests possible github repository.

so question how can contribute original github repo?

i wonder if following strategy possible:

  1. i create github fork $upstream (the original opensource github repo)
  2. somehow teach local repo new github fork(as did git remote add)
  3. create branch(mywork) on local clone, work, , push new github fork
  4. pull requests original repo auther.

edit

since there many modifications(commits) in private repo,
i need way go current $upstream's clean state(upstream's master without local modification made in origin/master , not in mywork).

(so pull request doesn't have modification except branch(for pull request))

how can that?

took me long time figure out..
there's cherry-pick command in git perfect situation.

send pull request on github latest commit

basically,

git checkout -b mywork_for_pull_request upstream/master (make branch off upstream/master not origin/master) git cherry-pick `sha-of-mywork-branch's-commit` (pick out commits want contribute) git push mygithub_fork mywork_for_pull_request

and press pull request in github page.
