Thanks Justin - that's clear. If I want to sync my fork with branches that are newly created in the canonical repo I would do:
git fetch geotools # to get refs to new branches git checkout new_branch_name git push mbedward new_branch_name Is that right ? Aside: I don't think I yet fully comprehend the purpose of our developer forks. I'm using "Pro Git" as my reference book and its discussion of alternative work-flows for projects, developer forks are only mentioned in the context of very restricted access to the canonical repo, ie. I would commit to my fork and then make a pull request to the higher beings with canonical access. Apologies for so many entry-level questions.
