+ [2020-06-12T18:33:50Z] jhass so yeah, just git clone; optionally make a new branch with git checkout -b whatever; and git commit to your hearts content :)

hey y'all. If I have read-only access to a repository, can I create a new branch locally, and make multiple commits to it, and later add that commit history and new branch to the repository on github? Or, do I have to create the new branch first on github, before I start committing to it?
+ [2020-06-13T08:39:03Z] Nalt Hey guys, I am wanting to link a Overleaf project to an existing repository I have on Github: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/How_do_I_connect_an_Overleaf_project_with_a_repo_on_GitHub,_GitLab_or_BitBucket%3F#Using_Overleaf_with_GitHub When I follow the instructions I get to https://i.imgur.com/11TiEtB.png but I do not want to make a *new* repository, but instead push to an existing one. Is there a way to do this via

+ [2020-06-13T08:54:25Z] Nalt I think it goes: Overleaf -> My computer (local repository) -> Github ?
+ [2020-06-13T09:18:12Z] jhass seems more like an overleaf question than a github one. What happens if you just press the button?
+ [2020-06-13T09:22:37Z] Nalt it makes a new Github repository
