                So you've forked a Repository and you want updates...
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    #tl;dr
setting up a branch to track a repo

pre: assuming you have forked a repo and cloned your fork to your computer

git remote add [maintainer's name] [paste URL here]
git fetch --all
git branch --track [maintainer's name]_[branch] [remote name from step 1]/[branch you want to track]
At this point you may watch to checkout to your newly create branch and issue a git pull command.
