To sync a newly added branch from the original repository after forking and cloning, add the upstream repository, fetch the new branch, create and switch to a new branch locally, then push the new branch to the remote forked repository.

After forking someone else's project, cloning it to your local machine, assuming the original repository author has added a new v5-dev branch, how do we synchronize this new branch?

Pull the new upstream branch into the local repository

git remote add upstream https://github.com/dromara/hutool.git

Fetch the new upstream branch

git fetch upstream

Create a new branch called v5-dev locally and switch to that branch

git checkout -b v5-dev upstream/v5-dev

Push the local v5-dev branch to your forked remote repository

git push origin v5-dev
