These will help me with npp-usermanual and team:npp-user-manual-admin
git rebase, but that doesn't appear to be an option through the github web interface; urgh.
git pull # svn update: sync my working copy with github origin (my fork)
git remote -v # list origin (my github fork) and possibly upstream (official master)
git remote add upstream https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/npp-usermanual.git # if needed, add the upstream URL
git remote -v # should list both now
git fetch upstream # grab official changes (but not yet merged with working copy)
git checkout master # svn switch ^^/trunk # make sure I'm in the master "branch"
git merge upstream/master # actually sync my working copy with github upstream (official master)
git push origin master # this puts the changes back in _my_ github
git checkout featureBranch # svn switch ^^/branches/featureBranc # make sure I'm in the right branch
git merge origin/master # actually sync my working copy with github origin (master)
#git merge master # (alternate: I think it works without the origin/ prefix)
git push origin featureBranch # puts the changes back in my github
git remote add upstream /url/to/original/repo # already done via above
git fetch upstream # grab official changes
git checkout master # svn switch ^^/trunk
git reset --hard upstream/master # nuke it!
git push origin master --force # push the changes back into _my_ github

| svn switch ^/branches/BRANCHNAME | git checkout BRANCHNAME or git checkout -b BRANCHNAME origin/BRANCHNAME | switch working copy to the branch (the second keeps it in sync with the remote BRANCHNAME) |
