forks-sync 2.0.0

Keep all your forks up to date with the remote master branch.

Forks

Keep all your forks up to date with the remote master branch.

If you manage more than a couple git forks, keeping them up to date with the remote master can be a pain. Forks lets you avoid all the fuss by concurrently cloning each of your projects locally, adding the remote upstream, fetching upstream changes, rebasing them, and force pushing to your origin repo master branch - keeping all your forks up to date with the original repo.

By default, Forks will save all your forks to ~/forks-sync where you can also find logs for this tool.
