#How to fork & clone
Go here and click "fork". This will basically make a copy of the repo for you. Then you can work completely in your own version.
git clone https://github.com/<username>/ipals.git
From there you can edit, add, commit, push, branch, etc.
#How to stay up to date with upstream
You will first need to add a remote. Here's an example:
nathann@glitch ipals (dev) $ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/natsn/ipals.git (fetch)
nathann@glitch ipals (dev) $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/htrg/ipals.git
nathann@glitch ipals (dev) $ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/natsn/ipals.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/natsn/ipals.git (push)
upstream https://github.com/htrg/ipals.git (fetch)
upstream https://github.com/htrg/ipals.git (push)
nathann@glitch ipals (dev) $ git pull upstream dev
From https://github.com/htrg/ipals
* branch dev -> FETCH_HEAD
Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy.
