+clone the repository:
 
 ```sh
-git clone --depth 1 --no-checkout --filter="tree:0" [email protected]:typst/packages
+git clone --depth 1 --no-checkout --filter="tree:0" [email protected]:{your-username}/packages
 cd packages
 git sparse-checkout init
 git sparse-checkout set packages/preview/{your-package-name}
+git remote add upstream [email protected]:typst/packages

 git checkout main
 ```
 
+The `packages` directory you are in still corresponds to the whole repository.
+Do not delete or edit the `README.md`, `LICENSE` or any other file at the root.
+Instead, create the directory `packages/preview/{your-package-name}/{version}`
+and copy your files here. Note that `packages/` is a directory in the
+`packages` repository: if you look at the full path, there should be two
+consecutive parts called `packages`.
