Git: Fork GitHub Repo into different Repo -
original question
this git repository have @ moment, on github here:
master railstut
i'm looking @ customising cloudhead's toto rails backend within project.
the methodology can think of fork
project, put within branch of noto
repository:
master railstut toto
the reason want because repo, each branch different method of me trying working backend blog. reason want branches , not different repositories each attempt keep contained , neat.
so... there way without downloading cloudhead's repo, unzipping working directory , committing it? googling hasn't helped, because i'm searching wrong commands (mainly fork
, branch/checkout
, clone
)
questions clarify welcome!

bonus points if can still make pull
requests bug fixes or updates. though, sounds little pointless, given i'm customising , not patching, forks intended?
you can add remote name cloudhead.
use
git remote add cloudhead git@github.com:cloudhead/toto.git
then can pull using command:
git pull cloudhead master
