github - Git: Pull from other remote

Question

I have created a fork from a project on GitHub. How can I now pull changes from the project that I forked from?

Answer 1

git pull is really just a shorthand for git pull <remote> <branchname>, in most cases it's equivalent to git pull origin master. You will need to add another remote and pull explicitly from it. This page describes it in detail:
