## Get updates from a forked repo

1. Fork your repo of interest.
   [sta523-fa20/exercises](https://github.com/sta523-fa20/exercises)

2. Clone the repo using HTTPS.
 
 ```bash
 git clone <git repo url>
 ```
3. Navigate to inside this local repo.

4. Add a new remote associated with the location of the repo on GitHub that
   you forked. Give this new remote a nickname: `upstream`.
    
    ```bash
    git remote add upstream https://github.com/sta523-fa20/exercises.git
    ```

5. Verify that `upstream` has been added.
    
    ```bash
    git remote -v
    ```

6. As new contents are added or updated to the `upstream` master branch, 
   update your local branch.
    
    ```bash
    git pull upstream master
    ```
