git cloning two times and pushing through two levels

I am a newbie in git. I don't know if this is possible. what I am doing is I cloned a remote repository in my desktop. I then again cloned that cloned repo into another folder. Is there anyway to connect all these repo. Will i be able to make change to the second clone and push it through first clone and finally to remote repository?

You can change the origin of the second clone in order to push directly to the remote repo:

cd /path/to/second/clone
git remote set-url origin /url/of/remote/repo

Or you can add a new remote (still in the second clone) in order to reference the original remote repo

cd /path/to/second/clone
git remote add upstream /url/of/remote/repo

In that latter case, pushing will by default push to the first clone.
But a git push upstream aBranch would push directly to the remote repo.
