Merging between forks in GitHub (with branchs)

Question

The question is similar to Merging between forks in GitHub. However, my problem is that I want to merge remote branch in the remote repository.

I have been trying to:

git pull <remote_repository>/<remote_branch> master

or

git pull <remote_repository>:<remote_branch> master

but that didn't work.
