HowTo_GitHub_Fork_even_with_master.md

Assuming your are inside your fork folder and the pull requests you did were accepted and so merged into the master branch of the repo. Run once at first:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/upstream/repo.git

Then whenever you want to make your fork even (sync changes), run:

git pull --rebase upstream master
git push --force-with-lease origin master
