Pulling changes from fork parent in Git

Question

How do you pull changes from the parent of a fork in Git, specifically in a github configured project?

For example, say I forked http://github.com/originaluser/originalp

Answer 1

You can add the parent repository (upstream) as another remote branch. Something like

git remote add upstream ...

and then you can just git fetch to see any changes and then rebase/merge... whatever.
