Practice Cloning a Repository from Github

Directions

Part 1 - Fork & Clone the project

• Begin by forking this project into a personal repository.
  • To do this, click the Fork button located at the top right of this page.
• Navigate to your github profile to find the newly forked repository.
• Use the git clone command to clone the repository from your account into the directory on your computer that you use to keep your projects (ex. dev-projects directory).

Part 2 - Edit the cloned project

• cd into the root directory of your new cloned repository

• Use your command line to add a simple file structure:

  • Add a new file called index.htmlusing the touch command
  • Add a new folder called assets using the mkdir command
  • Add a new folder inside of the assets folder called css -- you'll have to cd into the assets folder, and then use the mkdir command
  • Within the css folder, add a file called style.css

Part 3 - Pushing new changes to repository

• From a terminal navigate back to the root directory of the cloned project.
• From the root directory of the project, execute the following commands:
  • git add .
    • Add all files in current directory to the staging area
  • git commit -m 'Add file structure'
    • Save all staged changes to local repository
  • git push
    • Push changes from local repository to remote repository
  • Go back to your Github Profile, navigate to your forked version of the project, refresh the page & you should see the changes you made to the file structure
