+## Working with a forked GitHub Repo
+
+If you fork the RaspiBlitz repo (much welcome) and you want to run that code on your RaspiBlitz, there are two ways to do that:
+
+* The quick way: For small changes in scripts, go to `/home/admin` on your running RaspiBlitz, delete the old git with `sudo rm -r raspiblitz` then replace it with your code `git clone [YOURREPO]` and `./XXupdateScripts.sh`
+
+* The long way: If you like to install/remove/change services and system configurations you need to build a SD card from your own code. Prepare like in `Build the SD Card Image` but in the end run the command:
+
+`wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/[GITHUB-USERNAME]/raspiblitz/dev/build.sdcard/raspbianStretchDesktop.sh && sudo bash raspbianStretchDesktop.sh [BRANCH] [GITHUB-USERNAME]`
+
 ## Update to a new SD Card Release
 
 At the beginning of this README you can find the newest SD card we provide. Or you can build the newest SD card image yourself like in the chapter above. The SD card image is used to setup a fresh install of the RaspiBlitz. So what to do if you already have an older version running and you want to upgrade?
