Justin,

I have a couple of git questions and I am hoping for some best-practice 
guidance:

(1) If I cloned from my forked personal geotools repository but now want 
to change my local master to track the main geotools repository, what is 
the right way to change my local master? Just delete it and recreate it 
from the new default remote like this?

git branch -d master
git checkout -b master geotools/master

Does this fix the remotes to be equivalent to a fresh clone? Or will 
this have unanticipated side-effects?

(2) I got all the new branches from the geotools repo with "git fetch". 
What is the right way to push branches into my forked personal remote on 
github? Check them out and then push them? Is their an easier way to 
mass-update a forked personal repository with upstream branches? Is 
there any reason to do so?

(3) Does a forked github repository have any concept of remotes, and any 
tools for acting on them from the web interface?

Trying to merge into my mental model.  :-)

Kind regards,
