Forking a Repository - msu-anthropology/indian-country-ss20 GitHub Wiki

To fork a repository (repo), make sure you are logged into GitHub and then navigate your browser to the repo's main page on GitHub's website. I will be using the Spring 2016 iteration of This is Indian Country to demonstrate this.

Click on the "Fork" button near the top-right of the page.

This should redirect you to a new page, which will be for your forked repo, even though it looks the same as the page from the original repo.

Note how the name of this repo is your username, followed by the repo name, with the original repo's username and repo name combination underneath it.
