[Diarreamental]

Is it possible to take commit from different repositories of different owners?
I have a project in my desktop and I want to take commits from another repository of another owner?
Is this possible? If it's could you explain to me how to do it? Have been the whole day trying to get this to work.
i have git ,msvc, github desktop windows powershell installed

in this case i want to take commits from ralke23 github

diap@DESKTOP-SKVF2VL MINGW64 ~/Documents/GitHub/tfs-pro (main)
$ git checkout ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades
error: pathspec 'ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades' did not match any file(s) known to git

diap@DESKTOP-SKVF2VL MINGW64 ~/Documents/GitHub/tfs-pro (main)
$ git fetch ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades
fatal: 'ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

If you want to "download" the repository, you can simple:

git clone https://github.com/ralke23/Greed-TFS-1.5-Downgrades.git

After that you will have a local copy of the repository. After that you can checkout to another branch, make commits etc

Finally is it working, i simply forked the repository and then added my project as a new branch
