## Repository mirroring
You can use [repository mirroring](repository_mirroring.md) to keep your fork synced with the original repository. You can also use `git remote add upstream` to achieve the same result.
The main difference is that with repository mirroring your remote fork will be automatically kept up-to-date.

Without mirroring, to work locally you must use `git pull` to update your local repository
with the upstream project, then push the changes back to your fork to update it.
WARNING:
With mirroring, before approving a merge request, you'll likely be asked to sync; hence automating it is recommended.

NOTE:
When creating a merge request, if the forked project's visibility is more restrictive than the parent project (for example the fork is private, the parent is public), the target branch will default to the forked project's default branch. This prevents potentially exposing the private code of the forked project.
