Open a terminal and run the following command. This will create a new folder TodoApp in your root directory that is a copy of this repository.
git clone https://github.com/sigdotcom/TodoApp
Open the TodoApp folder with your favorite code editor. If you have VSCode installed, it has this handy command to open it from the terminal.

Git is a version control system that allows you to work on an individual feature without affecting the main codebase. It does this through branches.
To create and switch to a new branch, run the following commands.
git checkout -b my-branch
git push -u origin my-branch
You are now working off of the branch my-branch. This is where you'll work on your feature until it's finished.
To send your changes back to this remote repository for others to see, run the following commands.
git add .
git commit -m "My changes"
git push
These will add and commit your changes locally, then send those changes to the corresponding branch here.
