Question

I cloned someone else’s repo to my computer from github to try it out. I eventually made some changes to it (locally) that I do not want to commit to the original repo. Instead, I want to create my own fork of the project, apply the changes I made, then push it to my own repo. How do I do this?

Answer 1

You can add your own repo as a remote and simply push there :

git remote add myFork git://myforkUrl/project.git
git push myFork master

But if you want to work with github you should consider to fork from the github interface.
