Hi Uwe, this is not a JRuby or even GitHub question, but a Git question instead. There are at least two ways of maintaing a fork using Git.

For both cases you'll need two remote entries for your local Git repository. One strategy is through frequent merges, while the other one is by rebasing your branch against the main one.

The best approach will definitely depend on your goals. But I wouldn't ask such questions in this list, but would look for a git-users list instead, like this one:

http://groups.google.com/group/git-users

GitHub tries to explain how forks work here:

Hi all!

I am still a git/GitHub newbie, so please bear with me.  I forked jruby/jruby 
to ruboto/jruby on GitHub yesterday, and today I get red lines for two commits 
from jruby/jruby in the Fork Queue.

Is this expected?  It blocks getting new commits from the upstream project.

How can I maintain a fork of JRuby?  Can I use GitHub for this?

Any replies are appreciated.
