[vtk-developers] Keeping in fork in sync

[Bill Lorensen]

Your suggested method to sync my repo with the vtk repo did not work for me.

This is what I needed to do:

Do this once:
git remote add upstream https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk.git

To sync:
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git merge upstream/master
git push
