Clone the sample application repo
Create your copy of the repo
A sample application, called Goof, is provided for this workshop as a GitHub template. Navigate to the GitHub Repo for the Goof application and click “Use this Template” and then “Create a new repository” to create a copy of the Repo to your personal GitHub account.
Be sure to name the new Repo goof otherwise things will break later on.
We recommend you make your copy have “public” visibility, it will simplify working with it during this workshop.
To copy-paste the commands in the instructions set an environment variable with your GitHub ID. Your GitHub ID is displayed in the upper right corner in GitHub.com.
GithubId=<your_github_id>
Clone the repo
After you create the Repo, clone the Repo to your local environment by using the git clone command. Once the clone completes, change to the repo’s top level directory.
git clone https://github.com/$GithubId/goof && cd goof
This copies the Repo files to your local environment.
