How to get a new branch in my fork from the original repository?

I forked a repo and the original repo has gotten a new branch after I forked it.

OriginalRepo

   +-BranchA
   |
   +-newBranch


MyFork

I want to get the branch newBranch into my fork, how can I do this?

It is also possible to do with Github UI. You can go to the branches of your repo (i.e. in a branch selector, pick View all branches, you will be taken to https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/branches), then click New Branch, select upstream repository from the drop-down list and then a branch from another drop-down list.
