If you are like me you find yourself cloning a repo, making some proposed changes and then deciding to later contributing back using the GitHub Flow convention.
To follow GitHub flow you should really have created a fork initially as a public representation of the forked repository and the clone that instead. The typical setup would have your local repository pointing to your fork as origin and the original forked repository as upstream.

Clone some repo (you've probably already done this step).
git clone git@github...some-repo.git
