Big THX Fabian for you support. You helped me a lot! :-)

is my private github fork of the the plugin-repository from opnsense automatically updated with the newest stuff or do i have to click on the fork-button from time to time to sync with my private github repo ?

thx guys!

Your fork does not automatically update from the upstream repository.
You need to manually update all branches.

https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/

You can not just push the fork button again to get the updates. You can sure delete your fork and fork it again, but you will lose all changes that you have made to your fork, unless all your changes did get upstream via pull requests.

So you really want to update your fork using the manual I posted above.

Also, if you worked a long time on your fork and if fork and upstream have not synced over a longer period, you may get merging conflicts that you need to resolve yourself.

thx for your help! :-)

i´m only working on a css-template. Should not be a big problem!
i´m doing my template with the latest development build.
it´s impossible to be on the latest version for the whole project.

So i hope this will also fit for the release of version 18.7.!

-> What does push to or fetch from upstream mean ?
-> What´s the difference to usual push or pull ?

i´m using eclipse for developing!

thx
