Github: Import upstream branch into fork

Question

I have a fork (origin) from a project (upstream) on github. Now the upstream project has added a new branch, I want to import into my fork. How do

Answer 1

I had trouble with this too, and google took me here. The solutions didn't work however. My problem was that when i added my upstream, it set up my git config to only fetch master, rather than all branches. e.g. It looked like this

[remote "somebody"]
        url = git@github.com:somebodys/repo.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/upstream/master

Editing .git/config as follows fixed my problem

[remote "somebody"]
        url = git@github.com:somebodys/repo.git
        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/upstream/*
