I created a fork of a repository per the instructions here -- https://guides.github.com/activities/forking/ . Then I cloned this to my local machine. I would like to update my local repository with the files from the master branch of the original repo, but I can't seem to figure it out. I tried
localhost:resilience-app davea$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/factn/resilience-app
localhost:resilience-app davea$ git pull upstream/master
fatal: 'upstream/master' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
What's the right syntax for updating my local repo with the latest files from the original repo?
If you want to specify both the name of the remote repository and the branch, separate them with a space instead of a slash: git pull upstream master. But master is usually the default branch, so you can just try git pull upstream.
