He, i hay same concerns not so long ago.
I recommend to install GitHub Desktop app. It is an intuitive GUI for Windows, but it has a Linux version too.
Basically, you must fork ReactOS repo into your profile (in GitHub). Then, you will Link GD to that fork, NOT TO MASTER. And at last, you will download source code from YOUR FORK. Obviously, you will have to sync fork and main repo later, but its easy to do that via github website

Hello,

my experience with git so far boils down to a 1:1 relationship of the repositories.

- Global repository on the company's MS TFS.
- Local repository on my development machines.

Now I'm dealing with a 3 relationship.

- Project repository (Reactos) on Github.
- Developer repository (fork / <user>/reactos) on Github.
- Local repository on my development machine.

I still need to learn how to use this feature.

Please be patient.

Greetings
Raymond
