Recommended workflow

We recommend the following overall workflow when developing for this repository:

Fork this repository
Always work in your fork
Always keep your fork up to date

Before updating your fork, run this command:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/rescript-lang/experimental-rescript-webapi.git

This will make management of multiple forks and your own work easier over time.

Updating your fork

We recommend the following commands to update your fork:

git checkout main
git clean -xdf
git fetch upstream
git rebase upstream/main
git push

Or more succinctly:

git checkout main && git clean -xdf && git fetch upstream && git rebase upstream/main && git push

This will update your fork with the latest from rescript-lang/experimental-rescript-webapi on your machine and push those updates to your remote fork.
