As more changes come in from other contributors and accepted by you
or other Maintainers, the forked repository (bottom right) and your own
local copy (bottom left) will be out of sync. This time, when you visit
your fork on GitHub, you will see that GitHub will show you that your
branch is N commits behind the upstream repository. You can
use the “Fetch upstream” button to bring those changes to your own
repository.
