minor nit, but if you're breaking into two parts, it'd make sense to start over at "1."


> Repository (Repo): A folder that holds your code. This folder is special because it has a hidden `.git` folder that holds information about how your repository has changed over time.

Instead of adding your changes directly to someone else's repo, you can create a copy of their repository to work with. When you create this copy, we call it "forking the repository."

Conceptually, think about hitting a fork in the road -- the road splits into two. This is the same with forking in git. Forking simply creates a snapshot of the base repository (`stephengodderidge/learn-git`) that you have permission to make changes to.

I don't think these references to the fork should be included in the original

1. Make sure you're on the base page of the `learn-git` repository: [https://github.comstephengodderidge/learn-git](https://github.com/stephengodderidge/learn-git).
2. In the top right-hand corner, you'll see a button that says "Fork". Click it.
You'll see a screen that shows "Forking repository". You'll now find yourself on a new repo page. If you look in the top left, you'll see that this repo is based on your `<your-github-username/learn-git>`.

Congrats! You've created a fork! This is simply a copy of the base repository `chingtong/learn-git`. We will use this new repository as a place for your team can share code.

You'll also want to rebase onto the latest repo changes, so you don't delete the previous files!
