Avoiding Conflicts {Syncing Your Fork}

To keep your fork up-to-date with the main repository and avoid conflicts:

Add Upstream Remote:

Verify the New Remote:
```
git remote -v
```
Sync Your Fork with Upstream:
```
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
```
This will pull in changes from the parent repository and help you resolve any conflicts.
Keep Updated:
- Regularly pull changes from the upstream repository to keep your fork updated.
