I forked the repo into a copy of the original under my GitHub account. Since I’m new at this I looked at Kent Dodds tutorial) on how to configure things so my local repo would fetch from the original repo, but I had thought push to my forked repo. Or at least that’s what I thought. But I’ve made some mistake. After I made edits and committed them locally, I tried to push my changes to my forked repo. However, this is the error I got:
