I have a fork (origin) from a project (upstream) on github. Now the upstream project has added a new branch, I want to import into my fork. How do I do that?
I tried checking out the remote and creating a branch on top of that, but that configures the branch the way that git push is trying to push to the upstream:
git checkout upstream/branch
git checkout -b branch
edit
Maybe that wasn’t clear, but I want to add the branch to my local repository, so I can push it to origin (my fork) via git push. Because upstream repositories are usually read-only and you fork it to contribute.
So I basically want to checkout a non-existent branch on origin whose contents will be pulled in from upstream.
