1. Add a new remote to point to the upstream repo:

 > git remote add upstream git://github.com/USERNAME/UPSTREAM-REPO.git

2. Check remotes:

> git remote -v

origin  git@github.com/MY-USERNAME/MY-FORK-REPO.git (fetch)
origin  git@github.com/MY-USERNAME/MY-FORK-REPO.git (push)
upstream        git@github.com/USERNAME/UPSTREAM-REPO.git (fetch)
upstream        git@github.com/USERNAME/UPSTREAM-REPO.git (push)

3. Pull changes from upstream to master:

> git pull upstream master

4. Push changes to origin from master:

> git push origin master
