 Pulling changes into a Github fork from the original repository

 If you maintain your own ongoing fork of a project on Github, you will inevitably want to pull in changes from the originator’s repository. Here’s how I usually go about it.

 First add the other guy’s repository to your list of remotes:

 cd my-fork
 git remote add other-guy https://github.com/other-guy/other-guys-repo.git
 If you were to then list your remotes, you would have something like:

 origin
 other-guy
 Now it’s just a case of pulling from the relevant branch on their repo, in this case ‘master’:

 git pull other-guy master
 Hope that saves someone some time.
