Please see GitHub’s Help on Forking if this is unfamiliar terminology

For this collection of examples, assume that administrators Joanna and Elizabeth have the following configuration blocks within their local ~/.ssh/config files…

Elizabeth‘s ~/.ssh/config file

Host github.com
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_private.key
    HostName github.com
    User git

Host server_admin
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private.key
    HostName <ip-to-server>
    User root

Host liz
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private.key
    HostName <ip-to-server>
    User liz

Host git_liz
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private.key
    HostName <ip-to-server>
    User Elizabeth

Joanna‘s ~/.ssh/config file

Host github.com
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_private.key
    HostName github.com
    User git

Host joan
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private.key
    HostName <ip-to-server>
    User joan

Host git_joan
    IdentitiesOnly yes
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/private.key
    HostName <ip-to-server>
    User Joanna

… where <ip-to-server> is replaced with the IP address to the server that they are administrating.

Note, <GitHub-UserName> in either of the following should be replaced by a GitHub User Name controlled by the respective life-form.

For the sake of an example, suppose that Elizabeth has already cloned this project’s source code prior forking, adding a new remote might look something like…

cd ~/github/Jekyll_Admin

git remote add fork https://github.com/<GitHub-UserName>/Jekyll_Admin.git

… now things like git push fork master will mean something to Git

And to continue the example suppose Joanna has already forked and cloned from there, eg…

cd ~/github

git clone git@github.com:<GitHub-UserName>/Jekyll_Admin.git

… then adding an upstream remote for tracking this project’s source during tests may look like…

cd ~/github/Jekyll_Admin

git remote add upstream https://github.com/S0AndS0/Jekyll_Admin.git

… which enables merginging from this project’s source via…

git fetch upstream gh-pages:src_gh-pages

git checkout gh-pages
git merge src_gh-pages
