How should I fetch from the main repo when I have the problems mentioned below?

Okay, so here it goes. I was told to clone a repo and work on it. So I cloned it using:

git clone https://github.com/group/group_project.git 

. After editing more than 10-12 files, I was told to make git-pull-request. Now because I had cloned before forking and then cloning, I needed to make my local repository (repo in my machine) be added to a remote repo. To resolve it I forked the group_project repo into my account. Then used the forked repo URL to add my local repo to the forked repo URL by the following:

git remote add origin https://github.com/me/group_project.git

There were some errors so next time I did with:

git remote add my_task https://github.com/me/group_project.git

And then to verify I ran the command

git remote -v

. And the results turned out to be:

group_project     https://github.com/me/group_project.git (fetch)
group_project     https://github.com/me/group_project.git (push)
my_task           https://github.com/me/group_project.git (fetch)
my_task           https://github.com/me/group_project.git (push)
origin            https://github.com/me/group_project.git (fetch)
origin            https://github.com/me/group_project.git  (push)

Anyways I created a branch with

git branch taskId

.And added, committed and pushed the files using

git push my_task taskID

. I successfully even pulled the request.

But when I when run the command

git checkout my_task 

I get the following:

error: pathspec 'my_task' did not match any file(s) known to git

So, will I be able to fetch from upstream to my master branch?

What I have tried:

I tried to run this command:

<pre>git checkout  

as well as

<pre>git checkout master 

Nothing proved git to be aware of my master branch.
