How do I keep my fork updated?

Question

So, there's this public repo on GitHub. I have forked it on Github and cloned my fork locally using SourceTree.

I have added the original repo as a remote called upstream.

How can I ensure that my fork stays updated/synched with the original repo?

Not sure how this works if you have multiple remotes. Try. :)

Thanks Balazs. Do I need to set upstream as the Default remote then? Or should origin continue to be the Default remote?

You need to pull the changes from it periodically. Tools\Options\"Check default remotes for updates every N minutes" makes SourceTree do automatic fetches in the background, which puts red numbers on your pull button when there are new changes.
