You can create a local clone of your fork. (You can paste the URL you copied before.)

$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR_ACCOUNT/Lesson-04-Testing.git

Now you have a local clone of your fork repository.

$ cd Lesson-04-Testing

2. Complete your work on your local clone

Writing your code and tests.

Running mocha locally to make sure your tests will pass.

Then you can commit, and push your changes to your fork repository.

(If possible, using git branch to manage your changes.)

How to get the latest code from upstream repo

Add upstream

First of all, add upstream by git remote command.

$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/MAP-NCU2015/Lesson-04-Testing.git

Then you can check the remote repo by -v option.

$ git remote -v
upstream	https://github.com/MAP-NCU2015/Lesson-04-Testing.git (fetch)
upstream	https://github.com/MAP-NCU2015/Lesson-04-Testing.git (push)
origin	https://github.com/<YOUR_ACCT>/Lesson-04-Testing.git (fetch)
origin	https://github.com/<YOUR_ACCT>/Lesson-04-Testing.git (push)

Fetch the changes

The most easy way is fetch all changes from all remote repo.

$ git fetch --all

Merge to your branch

Checkout to the branch which you want to merged, then merge the code from upstream's master branch.

$ git merge upstream master

You may have to fix the conflict after merge complete. If there is no conflict at your local repo, you can push the code to your fork repo. (Using master branch as example here.)

$ git push origin master
