My Way to merge scilab/master branch into a totally different repository
Contents
To do only one time
Get the repository
1 [$SHELL] mkdir ~/repositories
2 [$SHELL] cd ~/repositories
3 [$SHELL] git clone git://git.scilab.org/vtk
Edit the .git/config file
1 [$SHELL] cd ~/repositories/vtk/.git
2 [$SHELL] nano config
Add the following lines :
[remote "scilab_master"]
url = git://git.scilab.org/scilab
fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/scilab_master
Get the "git://git.scilab.org/scilab" objects
1 [$SHELL] git fetch --no-tags scilab_master
merge the origin/scilab_master with your local master branch
1 [$SHELL] git merge origin/scilab_master
Every time you need to merge the master branch of "git://git.scilab.org/scilab" with your local master branch
Update the list of "git://git.scilab.org/scilab" objects (and, as a result, the origin/scilab_master branch) ...
1 [$SHELL] git fetch --no-tags scilab_master
... and merge
1 [$SHELL] git merge origin/scilab_master
