How to get newly added branches from upstream into origin?

Suppose, I've repo - https://server/tests/ui and when I forked it, it has two branches - master and release.

Suppose after few days, someone adds new branch say feature to upstream. If I want to take that new branch into my fork, which git commands should I use?

you do a git fetch then

if you have only one remote let's say origin you do 

git checkout feature

if you have multiple remotes 

git checkout -b feature remote_name/feature

Best way to do it would be to first fetch the new branch from upstream into your cloned local repo and then push it to origin.

Below are the git commands:

git fetch upstream

Above command will fetch the new upstream branch.

git checkout -b feature upstream/feature

This will create a local branch with the name feature.

git push -u origin feature

This will push the new branch to the origin and will start tracking it(keeping the branch name same on origin).

Hope this helps you!!
