    #How to work on your own fork
Let's assume you belong to an organization called justiceleague and that you're supposed to submit code to the earth repository. Since I am batman, I do it like this:

Go to https://github.com/justiceleague/earth and click on the fork button on the top right corner. Wait until github completes the copy.
Now, it's time to clone the repository and to add both remotes.

git clone git@github.com:justiceleague/earth.git -o upstream
cd earth
git remote add origin git@github.com:batman/earth.git

This way, you can upload your progress to your own fork as a branch (without polluting the organization's repository).

git checkout -b mybranch upstream/master
# get work done
git add -A
git commit -m "My awesome changes"
git push origin mybranch
# ready to create PR!

Finally, you can go to https://github.com/justiceleague/earth to create your PR!
