Don't try it with the github site (it's possible but a bad idea). Instead use the "clean" way and do this from inside the dir with your git-repo:
Tell your repository about the original one:
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git
Get the original branches: git fetch upstream
Pull in the original data in to your branch: git pull upstream master
Push this to your github repository: git push
