GitLab cannot sync plug

Question

I recently installed GitLab, however, I cannot figure out how to use the plugs correctly. I have the following versions installed:

GitLab 7.7.1 GitLab Shell 2.4.1 GitLab API v3 Ruby 2.1.4p265 Rails 4.1.1 

I found out the forks URL (by creating another user and adding him to the project, but it does not appear in the GUI of my own projects, although http://server.com/<user>/<repo>/fork/new works), and once the plug has it was impossible to sync the plug. At least I can’t find anything on Google and in the documentation for GitLab, but it is mentioned in the lists of changes in places or problems that seem to have been accepted (can't find the source anymore, though).

Can someone explain to me how forking works and how can I sync the plug after updating the source repository?

Answer 1

How can I sync the plug after updating the source repository?

Just by adding a remote link to the original repo: see " Pull new updates from the original Github repository into the forked Github repository .

The opposite (from fork to original repo) is done using a merge request : see GitLab Flow "
