As as you have a fork, my understanding is that you should just use

more than spec PRs.
Or traditional _git_ commands -- whatever. :)
Personally, I find that when working with forks of something where I'm
a casual contributor, I end up doing this a lot:
git remote add upstream
https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/quick-docs
git fetch upstream
git reset --hard upstream/master
(repeat last two steps)
I'm sure places like github have docs on this too, but pagure also does:
https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/forks.html
Sorry to say that, but I consider this page ill advised. E.g. suggesting
to do:
~~~
$ git clone ssh://git@pagure.io/forks/jcline/pagure.git
~~~
is totally wrong IMO.
That is most definitively just your opinion :)
I know many people seeing it the other way around. They fork their repo,
potentially add upstream as another remote, push to their fork, open their PR
and practically will only pull from upstream if upstream asks them to rebase or
if they need to do another change.
I would go as far as saying you should never "git
clone" forked repository. You should always "git clone" the upstream
and
then add the remote for your fork if you need.
It's really potato vs potato, clone your fork and add upstream as a remote or
clone upstream and add your fork as a remote, at the end what matters is that
you know which approach you used (and if you don't git remote -v will tell you)
and know how to work with it.
