title: How to merge upstream changes into my own GitHub fork?
body: <p>am under the impression that to keep my fork of an open source project update-to-date, i must find some way to merge any upstream changes into my GitHub fork of that project, THEN clone them down onto my local syatem to do the next branch, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone pls tell me how to keep my GitHub fork in-synch with the upstream project? The info. i find just leaves me baffled as how to do that.
  Thanx</p>
