Bug Description

What is currently happening?

The setup instructions in both README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md reference the original fork repository (Priyanshu-byte-coder/devtrack) instead of the canonical organization repository (Umbrella-io/devtrack).

Verified occurrences:

README.md Quick Start section uses:

git clone https://github.com/Priyanshu-byte-coder/devtrack.git

CONTRIBUTING.md Configure Upstream Remote section uses:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/Priyanshu-byte-coder/devtrack.git
What should happen instead?

All contributor setup instructions should reference the canonical repository:
https://github.com/Umbrella-io/devtrack.git

Why is this a problem?
1.New contributors may clone the wrong repository.
2.Contributors may configure an incorrect upstream remote.
3.This creates confusion during fork synchronization and pull request workflows.
4.GSSoC contributors following the setup guide may unknowingly work against an outdated repository.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce
1.Open README.md.
2.Navigate to the Quick Start section.
3.Observe the clone command references:
4.https://github.com/Priyanshu-byte-coder/devtrack.git
5.Open CONTRIBUTING.md.
6.Navigate to Configure Upstream Remote.
7.Observe the upstream URL references:
https://github.com/Priyanshu-byte-coder/devtrack.git

Additional Context

Root Cause

The project appears to have been migrated from a personal repository to the Umbrella-io organization, but some setup instructions still reference the original repository URL.

Impact

Contributors following the documented setup process may configure their development environment incorrectly, leading to confusion when syncing forks and submitting pull requests.

Suggested Fix

Update the repository URLs in:

README.md
CONTRIBUTING.md

Replace:

https://github.com/Priyanshu-byte-coder/devtrack.git
with:
https://github.com/Umbrella-io/devtrack.git

Expected Outcome
Contributors clone the correct repository.
Upstream remotes are configured correctly.
Onboarding becomes clearer and less error-prone.
Documentation remains consistent with the active repository.
