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.

Answer 2

Expanding on other answers, these are the steps I took on a fork I had of tsc-watch:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/gilamran/tsc-watch.git
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git push

Explained:

1. adding the remote server as upstream
2. fetch all changes from upstream
3. merge changes from upstream branch into my master branch
4. push all changes to github
