How do I change the upstream branch on a GitHub fork?

I've forked a project on GitHub and have been contributing my changes to the "master" branch, however I'd like to change my GitHub project to synchronise with the new "testing" branch.

How do I make the "Contribute" and "Fetch upstream" buttons on my GitHub fork act in reference to the "testing" branch? I seem to have managed to achieve this locally on my project with a terminal, however these changes don't apply to the GitHub project. I'll gladly provide more information if needed.

"Fetch upstream" describing information about the "master" branch rather than the one I need

You can just select the testing branch in your fork then fetch it. If you don't want to select the branch every time to update it, you can set the default branch of your fork to testing.
