"I don't see why they can't pull in updates from the original repo."
Because github doesn't provide a way to do that on the site. Git workflows that can be achieved entirely on github.com were that subject of the story, and my original comment.
- jzelinskie 13y agoAh, I was a bit confused. GitHub's kind of in-between being a web-UI for git and simply a storage bin for git repos. If they wanted to add the functionality to pull (fetch and merge) they'd have to implement a lot more functionality to handle conflicts. Have you tried looking at the native GitHub clients? They might provide the functionality you're looking for.
