Fork, clone, and make a change
Create your own hosted copy of a project, work with it locally, and prepare a change.
Start with a fork and a clone
The demonstration begins with a fork: a personal copy of an existing public repository under your account. You then clone that remote copy to a folder on your computer so you can work on it locally. The workshop demonstrates forking at 42:48 and cloning at 46:11.
Edit and prepare your work
Navigate into the project folder, open the project in a text editor, and make the requested change. Before recording it, inspect the repository’s status, stage the changes you want in the snapshot, and create a commit with a descriptive message. The recording follows this editing workflow and then demonstrates checking status, staging, and committing at 1:05:14.
