I'm still not in the swing of things with github. I recently made some
changes to a style, following the guidance note in README.md:

***
The preferred way to make contributions is to:

1. fork the main repository
2. create a temporary development branch and make your changes there
3. commit your changes in one atomic commit per style in the master branch
4. issue a pull request to the main repository
***

The pull request was picked up, and the changes were published. Then
the original style author made some adjustments to the code, submitted
as a pull request which was also picked up and published. The master
repo is in good shape.

Now I'm looking at the github fork I created, and I don't see any
means of pulling down the recent change submitted by the original
style author. There seem to be three possibilities:

1. I'm missing something, and all I have to do is press the right button; or
2(a). There is no simple way to pull down changes from the origin to a
github fork, so the fork created for the edit should be thrown away
immediately after submitting the pull request; and
2(b). I would do better to clone the repo master and handle git from
the command line instead, where this seems to be possible with "pull".

Any guidance very welcome.
