This all appears to be completely general questions about git and nothing specific to do with the Eclipse Platform, so likely best asked elsewhere such as stackoverflow.

If you must ask questions (related to the Eclipse Platform) it's better to use discussions not the mailing list

https://github.com/eclipse-platform/.github/discussions

We all get too much email already...

1.

    Open Terminal.

2.

    List the current configured remote repository for your fork.

    |$ git remote -v > origin
    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch) > origin
    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push) |
3.

    Specify a new remote /upstream/ repository that will be synced
    with the fork.

    |git remote add upstream
    https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git |
4.

    Verify the new upstream repository you've specified for your fork.

    |$ git remote -v > origin
    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (fetch) > origin
    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_FORK.git (push) > upstream
    https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (fetch)
    > upstream
    https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git (push) |
