So you've cloned somebody's repo from github, but now you want to fork it and contribute back. Never fear!

Technically, when you fork "origin" should be your fork and "upstream" should be the project you forked; however, if you're willing to break this convention then it's easy.

* Off the top of my head *

1. Fork their repo on Github
2. In your local, add a new remote to your fork; then fetch it, and push your changes up to it

    git remote add my-fork git@github...my-fork.git

Locate the section for your github remote in the .git/config file. It looks like this:

[remote "origin"]
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
	url = git@github.com:joyent/node.git

Now add the line fetch = +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/* to this section. Obviously, change the github url to match your project's URL. It ends up looking like this:

# I needed to print out ascii tables from data in the form:
# [ ('column 0 title', 'column 1 title'  ..),
#   ('row 0, column 0 data', 'row 0, column 1 data' ...) ...]
#
# and surprisingly it got complicated because of variable lengths of the data.
# I googled for 'standard' ways of doing this and I found suggestions like:
# http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5909873/python-pretty-printing-ascii-tables
# ...which were a bit dated and hard to read or full scale modules like:
