[vtk-developers] How to update someone else's topic (or create a new topic off of theirs)

[Ken Martin]

So I was doing a review of someone's merge request and I realized it needs
some extra changes. Is there a way for me to download their topic (cherry
pick?), make some more changes and then resubmit it? I saw lots of options
to download a patch or diff for a topic but I do not want to lose their
node/hash/whatever it is called. Is there a right way to do this. I did
check the wiki but did not see a "revise someone else's topic".

Thanks
Ken

Whenever you do 'git gitlab-push' to push one of your topics it will also
fetch 'master' from the main repo and push that to your fork along with
your topic.

In general you don't need to ever reference 'master' in your fork so it
doesn't matter whether it stays updated.  If you do want to update it
manually you can do

 $ git checkout master
 $ git pull
 $ git push gitlab master
