title: Relink with a Github Repository on a New Machine
body: <p>I set up a github repository a while ago: <a href="https://github.com/LiamBailey/TweetSlider" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/LiamBailey/TweetSlider</a>, with code for a little jQuery script to pull recent tweets for a given user and display them in a slider. Now I have added a few new features, and also made it a jQuery plugin. The first version was called TweetSlider v1 and the second is called TweetSlider v2.1.</p>
  
  <p>First question: What should i do to add this new version to github, overwrite the existing code with the new, or create a fork for the new version?</p>
  
  <p>If I should create a fork I have found the documentation for that and can manage to do that, but if I am to overwrite, which is what I have assumed I should do, then I am in a spot of bother.</p>
  
  <p>Since creating the repository I have changed computers, and no longer have access to the local version of the original repository. How can I reconnect the repository to a new local directory and delete the existing files? Once I know how to do that I have found the documentation to recommit the new files.</p>
  
  <p>I hope someone can help with this.</p>
