Adding a remote upstream repository is done using:

git remote add upstream GIT-URL

For example:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/moment/moment-timezone.git

As per http://pivotallabs.com/git-unadd/, you can ‘unget’ a file.

git config --global alias.unadd "reset HEAD"

You can then do the following:

git unget file

Very useful, any so much easier to remember than:

git reset HEAD file
