A copy of the planets repository for students to use in the collaboration exercise.
To start this lesson, you will import a copy of Drew's repository called planets-template
into a repository in your account called planets
.
Below I assume that your user ID is yourusername
. You need to replace
yourusername
with your actual github username.
-
Go to [GitHub's importer][import].
-
Click on "Check the URL". (GitHub won't import until you've done this.)
-
Select the owner for your new repository. In our example this is
yourfilename
. -
Choose a name for your lesson repository. In our example, this is
planets
. -
Make sure the repository is public.
-
At this point, you should have a page like this:
You can now click "Begin Import". When the process is done, you can click "Continue to repository" to visit your newly-created repository.
-
Clone your newly-created repository to your desktop:
$ git clone https://github.com/yourfilename/planets.git
Note that the URL for your lesson will be different than the one above.
-
Go into that directory using:
$ cd planets
