update fork on GitHub for Windows?

github

Solution

GitHub for Windows only supports one remote for now (`origin`, which reference your fork).

So you need to manually add a remote (called '`upstream`') referencing the original repo, in order for you to be able to pull (from the CLI) from `upstream`, updating your local repo and allowing you to push (this time with the GUI) the new commits to your fork.

See "What is the difference between origin and upstream in github" for more.

Problem

I am currently using the Windows Github GUI and its pretty cool looking and easy so I'm trying to use it as often. A problem I encountered is when I fork a project I don't know how to update that fork with the git
