and how to merge two branches. So you can merge in changes from the
original repository's master branch with:
Another way to submit changes to a project is to tell the maintainer
of that project to pull the changes from your repository using
-linkgit:git-pull[1]. In the section "<<getting-updates-with-git-pull,

updates from the "main" repository, but it works just as well in the
other direction.
Normally whenever a branch head in a public repository is modified, it
is modified to point to a descendant of the commit that it pointed to
before. By forcing a push in this situation, you break that convention.

Nevertheless, this is a common practice for people that need a simple
way to publish a work-in-progress patch series, and it is an acceptable
purpose of maintaining a patch series. These are outside of the scope of
this manual.
