title: Git merge from someone else's fork
body: <p>I have a repository on github, and someone else has forked it and made changes.</p>
  
  <p>I want to:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create a new branch</li>
  <li>Merge their changes into my branch</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I have created the new branch:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git commit -b my_new_branch
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I merge their code into this new branch? </p>
  
  <p>This is the branch that I have created: <a href="https://github.com/poundifdef/VirginMobileMinutesChecker/tree/widget_toast" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/poundifdef/VirginMobileMinutesChecker/tree/widget_toast</a></p>
  
  <p>This is the branch that I want to merge:
  <a href="https://github.com/xbakesx/VirginMobileMinutesChecker" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/xbakesx/VirginMobileMinutesChecker</a></p>
  
  <p>What is the best way to do this? I've tried a "pull" and it won't work. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing in gitland, so if there is a better way to accomplish this (besides my creating a branch and trying to merge) then I am all ears!</p>
