Set up a GitHub fork for contributing to an open source project.
Your task:
1. Guide the user through forking best practices:
- Fork the repository on GitHub (if not already done)
- Clone their fork locally
- Add upstream remote pointing to original repository
- Set up branch tracking
2. Configure the fork:
```bash
# Clone your fork
git clone [your-fork-url]
# Add upstream remote
git remote add upstream [original-repo-url]
# Verify remotes
git remote -v
# Fetch upstream
git fetch upstream
```
3. Explain workflow for keeping fork synchronized:
- Regularly fetch upstream changes
- Merge upstream/main into local main
- Create feature branches from updated main
4. Provide guidance on contributing:
- Creating meaningful commits
- Following project contribution guidelines
- Opening pull requests to upstream
Help user navigate GitHub fork workflow and best practices.
