copied!<p><strong>Update:</strong> I couldn't get either of the first two solutions provided to work, so I'm providing more detail and setting a bounty. </p> <p>I have previously forked a github project called Enki (a Rails blogging platform) and then customized it and deployed it on Heroku. </p> <p>Now I want to start a new Enki blog. I can't fork Enki again, because it's already forked and customized for the first blog. I now cloned it from the author's page, and wanted to add a new repository on my github page so that I could deploy it to Heroku. Here's step by step instructions that I followed</p> <pre><code>git clone https://github.com/xaviershay/enki.git valentines cd valentines git checkout -b myvalentines bundle install cp config/database.example.yml config/database.yml git init </code></pre> <p>Message</p> <pre><code>Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/mm/Sites/valentines/.git/ </code></pre> <p><strong>1)</strong> Why the existing repository? Did I do something wrong? So it's going into the same repository (as the original fork?) even though I've named it something else? </p> <p>Made code changes then did </p> <pre><code>git add . git commit -m "made code changes" 2 files changed, 193 insertions(+), 157 deletions(-) rewrite Gemfile.lock (70%) </code></pre> <p><strong>2)</strong> Does the fact that it's writing Gemfile.lock mean that it's not changing the branch but rather the master? </p> <p>Next I created a repository on GitHub</p> <pre><code>git remote add valentines git@github.com:Username/Valentines.git git push valentines master </code></pre> <p>As you can see I, following Ksol's suggestion, used a different word than origin but it didn't work <strong>3) Problem -</strong> the GitHub repository 'Valentines' did not show the code changes that I made, but was rather the original gem</p>
