You have to add the original repo as an upstream.

It is all well described here: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo

git remote add upstream https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife.git
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master
git push origin master

You need to add the original repository  the one that you forked  as a remote      git remote add github  clone url for the orignal repository    Then you need to bring in the changes to your local repository     git fetch github   Now you will have all the branches of the original repository in your local one  For example  the master branch will be github master  With these branches you can do what you will  Merge them into your branches etc

Assuming their updates are on master  and you are on the branch you want to merge the changes into   git remote add origin https   github com  lt github-username gt   lt repo-name gt  git git pull origin master   Also note that you will then want to push the merge back to your copy of the repository   git push origin master
