[Bug]: README \git clone URL points to a forked repository (GxAditya/Knowte) instead of the canonical zero-gate-org/Knowte #18

Description

@prince-pokharna

Summary

The README.md "Building from Source" section contains a git clone command that points to https://github.com/GxAditya/Knowte.git — which appears to be a contributor's personal fork — rather than the canonical repository at https://github.com/zero-gate-org/Knowte.git. This is a clear documentation error that will cause confusion and incorrect clones for any new contributor following the README.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open README.md.
  2. Navigate to the ## Building from Source### Development section.
  3. Observe the clone URL:
git clone https://github.com/GxAditya/Knowte.git

Expected Behaviour

The clone URL should point to the canonical upstream repository:

git clone https://github.com/zero-gate-org/Knowte.git

Actual Behaviour

The README instructs contributors to clone a personal fork (GxAditya/Knowte) instead of the main repository. A developer following these instructions will clone the fork, not the upstream, and will face confusion when trying to set up remotes, submit PRs, or understand branch history.

Impact

  • Every new contributor following the setup guide clones the wrong repository.
  • Contributors who notice the discrepancy lose trust in the documentation's accuracy.
  • This is particularly harmful during open source programmes like GSSoC where many first-time contributors rely entirely on README instructions.

Proposed Fix

Change line in README.md:

# From:
git clone https://github.com/GxAditya/Knowte.git

# To:
git clone https://github.com/zero-gate-org/Knowte.git

I will also do a full pass of the README to check for any other stale fork references or broken links. Could you please assign this issue to me?
