Workflow working with fork and remote repo

1. Create own GitHub-Repository

2. Search for foreign GitHub-Repository and fork it within GitHub

3. git clone own GitHub-Repository which was created with the fork action in GitHub

    $ git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/REPONAME.git
    $ cd REPONAME

4. Create and add connection to foreign GitHub-Repository. Typically this is named as upstream. Your own GitHub-Repository is stored as orgin.
5. Connect foreign GitHub-Repository with lokal git project

    $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/ANDERER_USER/ORIGINALREPO.git
    # Check remote connections
    $ git remote -v

6. To pull data from the foreign repo add tracking info git branch -u The command -u is the same as --track

 
    # Create remote connections for pull
    $ git branch -u upstream/master
    # Check remote connections
    $ git branch --all
    # Checkout remote 
    $ git fetch upstream
    $ git pull
    #Alternativ: $ git merge

7. Make your changes and add it to your GitHub-Repository

  
    $ git add file
    $ git commit -m "message"
    $ git push origin main

8. Create an PR within Github to transfer changes to the foreign GitHub-Repository
9. Waiting for approval and merge in the foreign repository
10. Fetch and merge changes back to your repoistory

Action WIP

The GitHub Action is created under folder .github/workflow with name main.yml and uses the existing [wip action] (https://github.com/wip/action). The action sets a pull request status to pending if the title includes "WIP".
