What you want to do is create a new branch, not a new fork. You can achieve this with the command
git checkout -b new_branch_name Anything you do here will be done in the branch. You can switch back and forth between branches with git checkout branch_name The default branch is master, so to get back to that, you would do "git checkout master". Note that git generally won't let you change branches if you have uncommited changes, so you usually have to commit your work before you change branches (or you can use git stash, which is a slightly more advanced command).
