## Fork Clone Workflow
1010
- The standard workflow for contributing on GitHub is called **Fork/Clone**. For those who may not be familiar, here is a brief summary and some reference links.

- Note: a "Fork" is just a `git clone` *that is created on, and that lives on, GitHub.com*. You create a fork using the **Fork** button on GitHub: This allows GitHub to track the relationship between the original github repository, and your Fork. (In that sense a "fork" is slightly more than just a plain "clone", but only as much as GitHub.com adds some tracking and other minor features to make integration easier).

- The basic workflow is:

1. Create a **Fork** of the mplfinance repository. (See references below for details.) The fork will exist under *your* github account.
1515
2. **Clone** *your* Fork to your local machine (`git clone`).
