Making a copy of a GitHub repo to work on locally

Cloning

A clone is a local copy of a repository.

alt text

git clone [URL of your GitHub repo]

This clones a remote repo to your computer so you can customize it to your taste.

First, make sure you are out of GitPractice before you clone. Let's navigate to the Desktop.

Clone the repo for this workshop so you can have a copy for yourself!

git clone https://github.com/jojokarlin/Git_DRI_Jan_2017

Also, you can use the GUI (graphical user interface) on GitHub (buttons on the web page) to do the same thing. There should be a little "clone or download" button near the top right of each repo.

You can find all the workshops from this week linked in Patrick Smyth's GCDRI 2017 schedule. You can clone individual repositories of those workshops you might wish to revisit or that you might wish to copy to teach yourself.
