GIT Clone someone else's repository

Instructions copied from https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18200248/cloning-a-repo-from-someone-elses-github-and-pushing-it-to-a-repo-on-my-github

1. Create a new repository at github.com. (this is your repository)
• Give it the same name as as the other repository.
• Don't initialize it with a README, .gitignore, or license.
2. Clone the other repository to your local machine. (if you haven't done so already)

git clone https://github.com/other-account/other-repository.git

3. Rename the local repository's current 'origin' to 'upstream'.

git remote rename origin upstream

4. Give the local repository an 'origin' that points to your repository.

git remote add origin https://github.com/your-account/your-repository.git

5. Push the local repository to your repository on github.

git push origin master

---

Now 'origin' points to your repository & 'upstream' points to the other repository. But if someone else now checks out this repository from your repository it won't have a link back to the original repository. If this is the case, create a new link to 'upstream' that points to the original repository with the following:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/other-account/other-repository.git

---

It's best to make changes to the code in a new branch. Create a new branch for your changes with

git checkout -b my-feature-branch

You can git commit as usual to your repository. When you want to pull changes from the original repository to your master branch use the following

git pull upstream master
