Resetting GitLab Fork

[Eric Dejouhanet]

Hello Robert,

We're closer to the github methodology with gitlab.

If you are using your local and fork main branches for development, you 
can simply reset your local main to the upstream main once your MR is 
merged (the remote you created your fork from).
But you will have to force-push to the main branch of your fork to 
create another MR like this.

If you are using a development branch, and are pushing to your fork main 
branch to create your MR, you can simply forget your local development 
branch and restart a new branch from the upstream main.
But you will have to force-push to the main branch of your fork to 
create another MR like this.

The best is to maintain your local main branch by pulling changes from 
the upstream main branch as often as possible, and never use your fork 
main branch (which, incidentally, you can delete in the UI).
Checkout your local development branch from your local main initially 
and merge changes over your work from your local main when needed. Then 
push your local development branch to your fork as is, and create the MR 
from it.
Any additional commit you push to your fork development branch will get 
added
