GH-REPO-SYNC(1) GitHub CLI manual GH-REPO-SYNC(1) NAME gh-repo-sync - Sync a repository SYNOPSIS gh repo sync [<destination-repository>] [flags] DESCRIPTION Sync destination repository from source repository. Syncing uses the de- fault branch of the source repository to update the matching branch on the destination repository so they are equal. A fast forward update will be used except when the --force flag is specified, then the two branches will be synced using a hard reset. Without an argument, the local repository is selected as the destination repository. The source repository is the parent of the destination repository by de- fault. This can be overridden with the --source flag. OPTIONS -b, --branch <string> Branch to sync (default [default branch]) --force Hard reset the branch of the destination repository to match the source repository -s, --source <string> Source repository EXIT CODES 0: Successful execution 1: Error 2: Command canceled 4: Authentication required NOTE: Specific commands may have additional exit codes.
