Comment (by psykro):

 @tomd6r I was reviewing your suggested change today, could I confirm
 something in this section

 > Clone your fork or connect it to your existing local clone of the
 WordPress development repository. Replace your-username with your GitHub
 username. Use the SSH or HTTPS URL depending on your setup.


 {{{
 git remote add fork git at github.com:your-username/wordpress-develop.git
 }}}

 I assume the git remote add command here is if you have cloned the
 original WordPress/wordpress-develop repository by mistake, instead of
 first forking it, and then cloning your fork?
