# "git checkout master" is unnecessary, already here by default
git pull --unshallow # this option is very important, you would get
# complains about unrelated histories without it.
# (but actions/checkout@v2 can also be instructed
# to fetch all git depth right from the start)
git remote add upstream https://github.com/example/test.git
git fetch upstream
# Neither forget the -b opt,
# the feature/x ref is ambiguous at this stage
