I forked a popular github project to make certain minor adjustments for my needs. However I want to keep my fork up to date with the master repo.

In the project cloned from your fork, type the

Is it possible to clone a specific branch onto my PC? I don’t know a native way yet, but you can do it following this recipe: Fork the repository in question (called ‘upstream’) on the GitHub website to your workspace there.
