how to upload files to a forked version of my gitHub repository

I created a repository on gitHub and uploaded my local module to it.

i then invited contributers to join the project. they forked the original repository on gitHub and called it :

theCopy

i have now substiancially changed the local version of my module (the version on my laptop) and i want to upload it to the forked version on the gitHub account ('theCopy').

I am not clear how to do that

i tried : 

> git push origin theCopy

but nothing happened.

would appricate some advice.

Just push your changes to the main Repo that everyone has synced from and then on the forked account why don't you just run:

git fetch upstream
git merge upstream/master

If you haven't setup an upstream:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/ORIGINAL_OWNER/ORIGINAL_REPOSITORY.git

You can refer here for official documentation. Additionally, I would check out the following resources to learn git:
