Trying to get started helping out on Open source. Looks like my Git client is good but my fork is very old (Maven not Gradle Feb 2015) .
How do I get past this?
Relatively new to Git. Do I go to them for this kind of support?

There are a number of general resources for learning to use git and github, but you might like to start here: https://services.github.com/on-demand/resources/
As for your specific issue, you could delete your fork and create a new one, but eventually you'll be in the same situation again.
What you need to do is configure your local repository (on your personal computer) to have 2 remotes. One points to the central elastic/elasticsearch repository on github and the other points to your joe/elasticsearch repo (also on github).
Then you can pull changes from the main repo, and push them to your fork.
You'll want to read up about git remote for that.
Thanks
