Fixing a Pre-Fork Clone

So, you've accidentally cloned the repository before forking it, eh? No problem. Just run the following git commands inside of the repository and everything will be as it should be!

Firstly, if you still haven't, fork the repository!

Now you have a fork we want to set origin of each of your local repository (which is the default remote repository to push changes to) to your corresponding forked repository on GitHub:

# Assuming we're already inside the top-level directory of your Vorb repository.
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_NAME/Vorb.git

That's it! It's all fixed. :)
