Creating a new branch on the forked GitHub Repository
You do not want to make any new commits to the main branch. Create a new branch from the main branch instead so you can keep the main branch up-to-date with the latest commits from Mr-Pineapple/AdditionalGuns.

And that should be it you did not install Git and GitHub Desktop! Reference: Introduction
