bitbucket synch - I'm not seeing the synch button

Michael Murphy November 5, 2013

I am pretty sure I am getting dumber as I age.

I am somewhat new to bit bucket and have been using Hg for a year or so. Last month, I created a bit-bucket fork (from default) to work on my own repo. That worked fine until my co-workers started creating other branches and I couldn't see those branches in my local Hg.

I learned that I should have forked from the default-tip and then I'd see all of the branches. So I deleted my repo, forked from the tip and everything was great. I could see and 'update-to' any branch.

My problem (now) is that whehenver the latest patches are approved and merged into the default branch, I never get the 'synch' button and I can't see them in my local Hg client.

Am I completely missing something? This seems like it should be so easy.

Michael: Here's some information I found about syncing your fork in Bitbucket.

Syncing a Fork

  1. Go to your fork.
  2. Click the Compare button.
    By default, the system shows you outgoing changes. That is, changes made on your fork that do not exist in the original repository.
  3. Click Incoming to see what changes were made in the original that do not exist on your fork.
    Bitbucket lists any changes it finds and provides instructions for merging the changes in the local repository.
  4. Merge the changes on your local clone of the fork.
  5. Push the changes back to your remote repository.

This blog post also talks about forking and sync.

Thanks. That worked like a charm. The only difference is the "incoming" appears to be renamed as "Swap source and destination"

About making a feature worst. Horrible new interface.

Where did this feature go in the new interface?!

I am not sure why that awesome feature (Your repo is X commit behind, click here to sync) are not available anymore. Frustrating....

Where is that option "Your repository is 2 commit behind, click here to sync" in new UI ?
