Explain the difference between origin and upstream.?

• origin – The main remote repository you cloned or own.
• upstream – Usually refers to the original repository that your fork came from.

Example:

If you fork a popular open-source project:

• Your fork on GitHub = origin
• The original repo (the one you forked from) = upstream

Commands to set both:

git remote add origin

git remote add upstream

Why it matters:

This setup lets you pull new changes from the main project (upstream) while pushing your

changes to your fork (origin).
