You haven't explained yet what the bx command is or how to install it. And it's only ever referenced in these 4 lines, not clear if maybe the user doesn't need to use cf if they have bx, or what. For reference, I have no idea what the bx command is myself!

For the ibm accounts, you need to generate a token using the sso since I had trouble connecting directly to the bluemix.

2. Set target using `bx target --cf`
3. Check api endpoint using `bluemix api`
4. Push the project using `bx cf push`

What's with all the double tilde's - ~~ - in these lines. The Markdown rendition just displays then as double tilde's, which is what I'd expect, but ... I don't think they're needed.

The ~~ was for striking out the text. I thought I was making changes in my forked repo.

No worries - you use a ~ prefix and suffix around the text you want to strike out.

Eg, to get this: "Here's some striked out text.", do this:

Here's some ~striked out~ text.

But there's no sense striking out something that you want deleted; just delete it. It'll show as deleted in the git diffs.

And yes, you are making changes in your forked repo, but I guess you created a PR in the primary repo pointing to your branch - which is the way you usually want to be doing it. Perfect!
