That depends on whether you are modifying any of those cloned resources. So long as you never touch them, it should be straight forward to fetch and merge updates.

I believe you always make a PR from a fork, unknowingly or not. GitHub will create that fork for you the minute you make edits. Also, it's never a a good idea to make a PR from your forked master branch. Create another branch first with a sensible name, then make your edits, commit and do a PR from that. Of course, while in the Web-UI on Github, all this works automagically. If I remember right, GitHub creates a forka dn then an automatically named branch for you. > Sorry, I'm still learning the Git lingo here. I think a few times in the past on these discussion forums I've referred to "my cloned repo", when I probably meant to say "my forked repo". One can say there's a big difference in the two. One is simply loading a resource in order to use it and the other trying to eventually push modications upstream, to the core project. All those versioning sytems can be hard nuts to crack, e.g. it's very easy to (accidentally) commit changes to your master, rather than a feature- or bugfix- or docu-branch... and then wanting to revert that only to figure out that revert doesn't quite revert but rather push another commit that removes what the previous one accidentally produced... leaving those orphaned commits in the history stack. I wish GitHub would warn me more about these things so that I wouldn't fall for the same trap.
