planets-template

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.

1. Go to [GitHub's importer][import].

2. Click on "Check the URL". (GitHub won't import until you've done this.)

3. Select the owner for your new repository. In our example this is yourfilename.

4. Choose a name for your lesson repository. In our example, this is planets.

5. Make sure the repository is public.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Go into that directory using:

   $ cd planets
