Git push upstream

Question

I've tried looking for an answer for this but can't find a straight answer.

I'm running the code below.

git fetch upstream  # get the latest copy from master / upstream
git merge upstream/master  # merge the downloaded copies and merge to your copy
git commit -am"test"  # commit your latest changes
git push origin master  # push to your fork
git push upstream  # push to master copy from where you forked your project - is this safe?

is it safe to push to upstream (git push upstream)? My main goal is to apply my changes from my fork to the main project. Or there's a better way? thanks

Answer 1

It depends on wether you have the privileges to push. If you haven't, ask the owner of the upstream repository to pull from your fork.
