1. The most right github-specific way:

The one who wants his changes applied sends you a pull request. After
that everything is done in more or less trivial GUI:

http://help.github.com/pull-requests/

2. The github way:

You open your fork queue, and work with commits in GUI:

https://github.com/keplerproject/luarocks/forkqueue (link will work
only for repo owner, see also corresponding tab in the GUI)

3. The Git way, works everywhere:

Add other repo as a remote:

$ git remote add -f <remotename> <url>

Inspect commits

$ git log -p <remotename>/<branch>

Pick a commit to your branch (make sure that your branch is checked out)

$ git cherry-pick <commit-sha>

HTH,
Alexander.
