+ [2016-10-17T23:47:36Z] allejo what you would have to do is clone the repo into a separate location on your machine and then copy your changes into that cloned version. from your cloned version, you'll be able to create and commit and/or branch and push it back to github

i'm a new user and am working on a project for a client. I downloaded my source from github via the zipfile offered from the repository and set up a local git on my machine.
+ [2016-10-18T00:14:49Z] matkatmusic i've cloned the repo via XCode's "Check Out"
+ [2016-10-18T00:15:18Z] ryoshu I just noted https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios
+ [2016-10-18T00:15:27Z] ryoshu working on NetBSD port now
+ [2016-10-18T00:20:38Z] matkatmusic So, i need to manually copy over my source files into this cloned version?
