I followed this article Pull request Fetching.

It worked but I found out I just need add one line to the current repo, rather than create a folk repo and an upstream repo. Run this line

git config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/pull-requests/*/from:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'

You can also add it manually to the file .git/config in your project.

Next run git pull you should see a list:

• [new ref] refs/pull-requests/488/from -> origin/pr/488
• [new ref] refs/pull-requests/666/from -> origin/pr/666

Then you can run git checkout origin/pr/666 to get the pull request changes.
