Instead of telling them that they can use either (with reduced capabilities if you pick one of them instead of the other), wouldn't it be easier for the user if this section taught them how to switch their fork that they originally created out of git/git to be based on gitgitgadget/git instead? Something along the lines of ... If you originally forked from https://github.com/git/git/, you can easily correct it by running (you only need to do this once): $ git remote set-url origin https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/ $ git fetch --prune origin A pull request at https://github.com/gitgitgadget/git/ can be opened once you do so. but you'd need to validate the procedure, as I didn't try it myself. Thanks.
