I found myself needing the "How to keep updated with the mainstream repo" too:

git checkout master
git remote add upstream <original_repo>
git fetch upstream
git merge upstream master
git push

Your forked repo is now synchronized with the upstream!

Embarrassed to say that I totally needed this reminder for a few minutes last night.

You are not alone 😉 I rely (probably too much) on the (really well made) integration of Git in Webstorm. Therefore I also often have to search what are the commands to submit a PR for a forked project.
