Problem
Multiple prospective interns ran into issues with staled master branch on their fork due to not carefully following the steps. We've been addressing these issue individually and could use a FAQ for it.
Screenshots (when necessary)

Proposed solution(s)
Add content from https://github.com/open-learning-exchange/open-learning-exchange.github.io/pull/3504#issuecomment-2518261253 to Technical Questions Q4
Perhaps we could survey the successful mobile interns and ask them if they had any confusions or questions throughout the process, and then add new entries to the FAQ page as seen fit.
This is a great idea. Adding an FAQ for addressing stale master branches will definitely reduce the repetitive effort of resolving the same issue for prospective interns. Perhaps we could also mention tools or commands like git pull upstream master as part of the solution?
Following the commands below can be useful while synchronizing your repository
git fetch upstream
git checkout master
git merge upstream/master
git push origin master
This is a great idea. But I do wanna mention that this is already present in the mi-github-issues.md -> 4. Synchronize Your Repository.
Hey @xyb994, if no one is working on it, can I work on this issue?
@Sakshamnayyar I don't believe anyone is working on this. Check this is not already in the FAQ and free to grab it :)
This is actually a great suggestion! it's a great way for both mobile interns and software engineering interns to address their issues and answer questions that they might t not even thought of between the interns. Providing links, images or resources would also be helpful to guide interns through the steps.
