Keep your forked repo up to date or if the repo changes location, or you clone the original / parent repo and then you make a fork, it is easy to update your cloned version that is locally to point to another location with 1 or 2 simple git CLI commands.
Example commands
$ git remote -v
$ git remote remove origin
$ git remote add origin [URL]
$ git remote set-url origin [URL]
