Since Sage is a starter theme you usually don’t need to update. You can manually roll bring down changes, or you can do something like this:

>
> That’s fine in general. You can add our Github repo as an upstream remote and use it for updates. See here [http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/02/12/easily-fetching-upstream-changes.html](http://gitready.com/intermediate/2009/02/12/easily-fetching-upstream-changes.html)
