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 local branch named v5-dev, and push the v5-dev branch to your forked remote 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 should 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 locally named v5-dev 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
