Keeping a fork up to date

  1. Clone your fork:
    git clone git@github.com:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git
    
  2. Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:
     cd into/cloned/fork-repo
     git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
     git fetch upstream
    
  3. Updating your fork from original repo to keep up with their changes:
     git pull upstream master
