I do this all the time, if I understand the question correctly. You just need to add a separate git remote for each fork. For example, this sequence of commands will clone the FreeBSD source. Then it will fetch grahamperrin's fork. Then it will checkout a copy of grahamperrin's feature branch. Finally, it will rebase that feature branch onto a branch from the original FreeBSD repo. git clone git@github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src.git cd freebsd-src git remote add grahamperrin git@github.com/grahamperrin/freebsd-src.git git fetch grahamperrin git branch grahamperrin/featureX featureX git checkout featureX git rebase origin/stable/13
