Need help connecting GitHub with your machine's git environment?

1. Generate an SSH key
2. Add the SSH key to your GitHub account
3. Test it out

Once it is verified to be working, you can Create a new Repository or fork an existing open source repository. Once you have a repository in your account:

1. Press the Code button
2. Select SSH tab
3. Copy the URL provided
4. Open the terminal on your computer and type the command: git clone followed by the pasted URL from the previous step
5. Change directory (cd) into the folder that was just downloaded with the repo name

You're now in a git repository on your local machine!
