Most of this description, and most of the changes here, are from #34151, I just made the changes requested in the last review that PR received before being closed.

Why: The current fork instructions for Github desktop were out of date with the latest Github desktop.

Closes: desktop/desktop#13165 (I realize this is an issue from a different repository, however in the comment thread of that issue you will see people mentioning that the issue arises because the docs here need updating.)

What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs): Minor documentation changes, inluding updating screenshots. The easiest way to see the changes would be to look at the PRs file changes.

Check off the following:

  • A subject matter expert (SME) has reviewed the technical accuracy of the content in this PR. In most cases, the author can be the SME. Open source contributions may require an SME review from GitHub staff.
  • The changes in this PR meet the docs fundamentals that are required for all content.
  • All CI checks are passing and the changes look good in the preview environment.

@warp-core 👋 Thanks for the PR and linking to the desktop issue for context! I've added this to our review board.

@steveward If you have time, I'm wondering if you're up for reviewing this since you have the context from the issue. No worries if not, I'll leave it on a board so anyone can pick it up.
