bookSync with Upstream

When you contribute to an open source project, you typically work on your own fork of the original repository. However, the original repository—often called "upstream"—continues to evolve as other contributors add new features, fix bugs, or improve documentation. If you do not keep your fork up to date with upstream, your code may quickly become outdated or incompatible, making it difficult to contribute changes or resolve conflicts. Syncing with upstream ensures that your work is based on the latest project state, helps avoid merge conflicts, and demonstrates good collaboration practices in active open source communities.
