i have created repository using github windows (gfw) , added 3 commits , synced using aforementioned. commits visible on github webpage , in app. brother forked project start collaborating me. cloned using gfw.
then made changes on machine , pushed using "sync" button. changes appeared on webpage , in history, brother can't see them in gfw. after pressing "sync".
what mistake making? have added him collaborators in project's settings, though did not change anything. guess have misunderstood basic principles.
well, there 4 repositories involved here:
- your github one
- your local clone of github project
- your brother's github fork
- your brother's local clone of fork
i haven't used gfw myself little while, suspect sync synchronizing between last 2 projects listed above. don't know whether there's gui support or not, documentation on syncing fork may useful you.
i suspect there isn't support syncing fork original though, given this documentation:
github windows not support multiple git remotes , work origin remote. if wish push & pull other remotes, suggest use command line client included application.
your brother have 2 remotes: fork (typically named "origin") , original project (typically named "upstream").
