How to get newly added branch in my already forked repo?

I've already forked a repo from a main stream and been using my own repo and now the admin added a new branch on the main stream then at that condition how can I get that newly created branch on my fork. Any help would be appreciated.

It is usually better to work with the command line. So you have to:

  • add the original repo as a remote (the usual name is upstream)
  • pull the new branch from upstream to your local repo
  • push your local repo to your fork on github (the remote is origin by default)

This is true for every change that you want to get from the original repository. This is a common workflow.

For example this is an example where you want to get new commits made on upstream/master. The concept it's almost the same with new branches in upstream. The only difference is that in this case you won't need a merge the first time.
