I forked someone's repo ages ago. Recently they added a new branch to that repo, and I wanted to add that branch to my copy of his repo, but when I visit his branch and click fork, it doesn't work. Can someone provide any input?
+ [2015-10-18T23:56:53Z] anaconda I would undo that, yes - git checkout master and then see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8134960/how-to-revert-master-branch-to-upstream
+ [2015-10-19T00:01:37Z] hashtag_ I haven't used git at all - I did this from github directly (edit button) because it is only a very small change.
+ [2015-10-19T00:03:36Z] anaconda if it's really small I'd just delete the fork, fork again, change things, pr correctly to upstream :)
