GitHub HOW-TO “Resync a fork from original repo”

I forked a repo dzen/omgcats a couple weeks ago on duboisnicolas/omgcats. I missed some commits so I need to resynchronize dzen/omgcats on duboisnicolas/omgcats.

$ git clone git://github.com/duboisnicolas/omgcats.git
$ cd omgcats 
# New branch for latest commits:
$ git checkout -b upstream/master
# Add new remote upstream from original repo:
$ git remote add upstream git://github.com/dzen/omgcats.git
# Retrieve commits:
$ git pull upstream master
# Go back to master:
$ git checkout master
# Merge upstream to master branch:
$ git merge upstream/master
