Q: How to update your fork?

A: Fetch the changes from the upstream, Merge them in your branch and then push them to your fork.

git fetch upstream
git checkout <branchname>
git merge upstream/<branchname>
git push origin <branchname>

Q: What does fork mean? What does clone mean?

A: Clone is in your computer but fork is on Github. You have a clone in your computer, and the origin part is from your fork and the upstream part is main repository. So in your one clone you can access main repository and your fork.
