$ git fetch upstream

Advanced contributors who prefer to push without specifying a remote can set
the default push remote to their fork::

$ git config --local remote.pushDefault origin

This selects ``origin`` for pushes that do not name a remote. It does not
change which branches are pushed; that is controlled by ``push.default``.
Use an explicit remote in the ``git push`` command when you want to push to a
different remote.
