When a fork is not up to date, it says :
This branch is N commit behind xxx:master
How can I simply update the fork ? Why there's no button to simply update the fork ?
Sorry, but I've tried finding an answer since many hours.

I can update by doing another 'pull request', but the author is then advised of the 'pull request'. He doesn't have to be advised, I simply want to update the fork ! What should be done ? – trogne Mar 31 '15 at 02:20

Thanks Nicolas. So I guess it's not possible to do that on the github website. – trogne Mar 31 '15 at 14:19

Do yo have an error? I don't get you what is your point buddy. May be try to override and update your local changes:
git fetch origin
git reset --hard origin/master

The point is that the fork update doesn't seem possible to be done on the github website (like a pull request). – trogne Mar 31 '15 at 14:50
