How do I update my forked repo to the latest version of CMSSW ? about cmssw

[Dr15Jones]

In your local git repo, do a 'git pull' from the official CMSSW github repo. Once your local repo is up to date, push it to your personal github repo. As far as we've been able to tell there is no direct github to github way of doing an update.

e.g., one way could be:

git remote add cms https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw.git
git fetch cms
# move to a needed branch, e.g. CMSSW_7_0_X
git checkout CMSSW_7_0_X
git merge cms
git push origin CMSSW_7_0_X

That should fast-forward CMSSW_7_0_X branch, unless you done changes directly in this branch, then it would do a merge.

Hi Chris, David,

e.g., one way could be:

git remote add cms https://github.com/cms-sw/cmssw.git
git fetch cms

move to a needed branch, e.g. CMSSW_7_0_X

git checkout CMSSW_7_0_X
git merge cms
git push origin CMSSW_7_0_X
That should fast-forward CMSSW_7_0_X branch, unless you done changes directly in this branch, then it would do a merge.

thanks for the info !

The reason I started this thread was to get it (and the answers)
included in the FAQ (as I think this is worth it). :) Do you think
this is worth it ??

Thanks,
cheers, andreas

When you say "I started a while ago" is that before the 26th? If yes, you
should scrap the repository, not, merge.

Hi Giulio,
I scraped all of my cmssw forks and started again. Thanks and best
regards,
Ian
