And just for reference I copy here the detailed instructions from a post at http://processwire.com/talk/topic/1565-github-for-windows/:

• In "GitHub for Windows" local repositories view, right-click and choose "open a shell here"
• This will open a shell already in the right directory. Type the following commands:

# Assigns the original repo to a remote called "upstream"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/path_to_your_repository.git 

# Pulls in changes from the original repo not present in your local repository, 
# without modifying your files. 
# Allows you to review first.
git fetch upstream 

# merge fetched changes into your working files.
git merge upstream/master
