+
+>CAUTION: Synch up your local repo with [original repo](https://github.com/tetra-devs/maingame) (Upstream) before pushing your commits.
+>This avoids unnecessary conflicts during the merge.
+
+>NOTE: You can do so by adding a [remote handler](https://www.atlassian.com/de/git/tutorials/syncing) reference to the original repo and pull the changes from the respective branch.
+>Resolve the [merge-conflicts](https://www.atlassian.com/de/git/tutorials/using-branches/merge-conflicts) if any.
+
+
+>```bash
+>#Add upstream repo
+>git remote add upstream https://github.com/tetra-devs/maingame.git
+>
+>#Disable accidental push to the upstream
+>git remote set-url --push upstream DISABLE
+>
+>#List the remote repo and fetch references
+>git remote -v && git fetch upstream
+>
+>#Check for any new commits in the upstream branch
+>git log HEAD..upstream/master #No output indicates, upstream has not moved ahead
+>
+>#See the patch difference between local and upstream branch
+>git diff -p HEAD..upstream/master
+>
+>```
+
+>CAUTION: If the upstream has moved ahead, rebase your commit and resolve conflicts if any. [Skip otherwise]
+>```bash
+>git rebase upstream/master
+>```
+>
+
+**7.** Push your local commits to the remote repo.
+
+```bash
+git push -u origin <your_branch_name>
+```
+
+**8.** Create a [PR](https://help.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) !
