How to Fork a Jekyll Theme

Below is a walkthrough on how to download a copy of a website design you like so you can work on it on your computer before publishing. We'll be using Jekyll, which is a static-site generator developed in Ruby by Github's cofounder.

1. Find a cool Jekyll template. When you find one you like, make a copy of the repository by clicking the "Fork" button on in the upper right corner of the screen:
2. Click the "Settings" tab on your repository (i.e. "repo") and edit the repository name. Then click the Rename button :
3. Click the "Clone or download" button in the upper right hand corner of your Git repository ("repo"). Click the clipboard icon to copy the repo link to the clipboard. 

4. Open the terminal (Ubuntu keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T), enter "git clone", paste into the clipboard contents (Ubuntu shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V), and press Enter:

   git clone https://github.com/pgleasonjr/eurolifestyles.git
   

   Your screen should look something like this:
5. Go into the folder you just created by using the command cd (i.e. "change directories") plus the name of your project/repository:

   cd eurolifestyles

   Voilà:
6. Verify the remote fetch and push addresses of your remote repository using the "remote" command in verbose mode:

   git remote -v

   The output should look like:
7. Add your new upstream repository by typing "git remote add upstream" and pasting the address you copied to the clipboard above (Ubuntu shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V):

   git remote add upstream https://github.com/pgleasonjr/eurolifestyles.git
   

8. Verify that the upstream has been added by rerunning the "remote" command in verbose mode:

   git remote -v

   After pressing Enter, your output should look like:
