## Making your own Quartz
|
||
|
|
Setting up Quartz requires a basic understanding of `git`. If you are unfamiliar, [this resource](https://resources.nwplus.io/2-beginner/how-to-git-github.html) is a great place to start!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Forking
|
||
|
|
> A fork is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Navigate to the GitHub repository for the Quartz project:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
📁 [Quartz Repository](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, Fork the repository into your own GitHub account. If you don't have an account, you can make on for free [here](https://github.com/join). More details about forking a repo can be found on [GitHub's documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Cloning
|
||
|
|
After you've made a fork of the repository, you need to download the files locally onto your machine. Ensure you have `git`, then type the following command replacing `YOUR-USERNAME` with your GitHub username.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```shell
|
||
|
|
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/quartz
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
