Well, no, that’s not what I thought you said I should do. I don’t even know how to do that. You suggested that I start by installing from source. On Jun 1, 2016, at 2:25 AM, you wrote:

As far as I can tell, the “Clone or download” button on that page clones to my computer, not to my github user page (even when I’m logged in). The contributing page also goes there as the suggested first step. What I actually did was follow the instructions on the install page, which also cloned to my computer.

So I guess my "original" source is your “upstream,” with no “original” of my own on github. I’ll have to look at the config file you pointed me to, but I can’t do that now.

Do I need an original on my own github page in order to contribute?

I’m still at sea without a compass, trying to find my way by reading the book at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2.
