@mishra-shruti96 Please cross-check why you are getting your email address on git config user.name as this command should return your username

is this okay?

Hey, it's done!

[soumyaa1804]

@Ruheej1 You had to clone your forked repo. You cloned it from the original repo that's why You are getting the same repository in both origin and upstream. Do it again from your forked repo.

[lisa761]

@Ruheej1 If you have already forked the repo, you can just run this:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Ruheej1/Open-Source-Challenge.git

and then run

git remote -v

again to see the update.

[Ruheej1]

is it correct now?

[lisa761]

@Ruheej1 Great!

@Mitali-laroia, You had to run git remote -v for the output after adding upstream. You can run the commands again and change the image in the comment itself.

Hi, @vkr-code, you also need to show the result of git remote -v in your terminal.

Is it okay?

[lisa761]

Hi, @priyanka2109, your origin and upstream both have the same link. You have to fork the repo and then clone it. If you did fork the repo, then run this command:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/priyanka2109/Open-Source-Challenge.git

Else, fork the repo first and then run the same command.
