17. To make sure you’re still in sync with the source code, you’ll connect to the upstream: git remote add upstream [e-mail]:maeeast/cp-git-guestbook.git.

19. Use the git fetch command to update your remote branches: git fetch upstream.
20. Run the git branch -a command to view your local and remote branches. In the list of branches, you should upstream/master, which is the branch you’ll use to stay in sync with the source code.
21. Use the git checkout command to move into your master branch to make it match the source code. Merge the upstream branch into your master branch: git merge upstream/master. Now your local master branch is updated with the most recent changes!
22. Take a look at the message after you merged. If you see “Already up to date,” that means the upstream code hasn’t changed since you originally forked your repo. Or, you might see a list of files that were added or updated since you forked the repo or synced your local code. Either way, you’ll now ensure your local code is in sync with the source code!
23. To incorporate the updates from the upstream, you’ll move back into the guest-page branch using the git checkout command.
