+ [2016-10-24T16:38:11Z] allejo one time it's used is when a user makes a commit through github and has the "keep my email private" option turned on

delete the branch you dont want, then make a copy of your backup branch?
+ [2016-10-25T03:57:20Z] Anja ive done something wrong. again. locally cloned a github repo, modified it, now i want to fork the original on github merge my changes and issue a pull request.
+ [2016-10-25T03:57:48Z] Anja this must happen to other people!
+ [2016-10-25T03:58:13Z] Anja damned if i can find the link i used with the clues to fix this last time
+ [2016-10-25T03:59:45Z] allejo fork the original to your account on github. once you've done that, add that repo as a remote to your locally cloned repo and push to your repo
+ [2016-10-25T04:01:18Z] Anja thank you allejo
