# My First Fork (and clone)

## How to Download

### Part 1 - Forking the Project

* To _fork_ the project, click the `Fork` button located at the top right of the project.

* this makes a copy of the code IN YOUR Github ACCOUNT

### Part 2 - Navigating to _forked_ Repository

* Navigate to **your github account** to find the _newly forked repository_.

* This is your copy of the code, not the original copy of ZipCode's

* Copy the URL of the project to the clipboard.

### Part 3 - Cloning _forked_ repository

* Clone the repository from **your account** into the `~/Projects` directory.

    * if you do not have a `~/Projects` directory, make one by executing the following command:

        * `mkdir ~/Projects`

    * navigate to the `~/Projects` directory by executing the following command:

        * `cd ~/Projects`

    * clone the project by executing the following command:

        * `git clone https://github.com/ZipCodeCore/MyFirstFork`

_Please note, __Projects__, is just a suggestion. Over the years, some have made it __Code__, __Source__, __src__ or even __p__.

Generally, though, you should keep all your source code together in a _folder/directory_. _

## Make Changes

* edit the `my-name` file inside the _MyFirstFork_ directory, by adding your name to the file.

## How to Submit

### Part 1 -  _Pushing_ local changes to remote repository

* from a _terminal_ navigate to the root directory of the _cloned_ project.

* from the root directory of the project, execute the following commands:

    * add all changes

        * `git add .`

    * commit changes to be pushed

        * `git commit -m 'I have added changes'`

    * push changes to your repository

        * `git push`

* now, check that the code has been copied UP to the Github site.

   * navigate to your fork of the repo, the one in your account and cloned.

   * make sure the commit message is correct and up to date

   * look in the my-name file up on the github site to make sure your name is there.

### Part 2 - Submitting assignment

* from the browser, navigate to the _forked_ project from **your** github account.

* copy the URL of the repo using the button

* go to the student portal and submit the URL (your url) for the lab.

You can do it, we know you can. Ask around if confused, you're not the only one confused.
