How can I fetch an unmerged pull request for a branch I don't own?

Question

I need to pull in a specific pull request (that hasn\'t been processed into the main stream yet) in the NServiceBus repo:

https://github.com/johnsimons/NServiceBus/c

This is the solution from GitHub docs:

From your project repository, check out a new branch and test the changes.

git checkout -b GithubUserID-branchName branchName
git pull https://github.com/GithubUserID/reponame.git branchName

Where:

1. GithubUserID is the username of the person who opened the pull request.
2. branchName is the name of the branch for example master
3. reponame the repository name like demo-todo

Example :

git checkout -b felix123-master master
git pull https://github.com/felix123/demo-todo.git master
