Assuming you using a terminal, cd to the themes directory:

cd [PROJECT]/wp-content/themes

Now clone _s to your project:

git clone git@github.com:Automattic/_s.git [THENE-NAME]

After the clone ends you can start working with your new theme. cd to theme directory:

cd [THENE-NAME]

and create another remote for your repo.

git remote add [NEW-RENOTE-NAME] [NEW-RENOTE-URL]

From now on, you can push change into your private remote:

git push [NEW-RENOTE-NAME] master

and if you want to get updates from _s repo you can just:

git pull origin master

Good Luck!
