Now that we've got the repo cloned, let's start exploring some tips.If you are reading this, then you probably know what GitHub and VS Code(Visual Studio Code). And I can then, like in this case, I can go to this Sort.js file and open it up in the Editor. And you'll see over here in the Explorer is all the files we just saw in Windows Explorer. There was a pop up that showed it was cloning the repository and now you're going to see over on my hard drive that there's a folder with these files in it, and then Visual Studio Code is suggesting that I can open the repository. Then you'll see a brief window pop up on the bottom. And I'll click on the Select Repository Location.

I'm matching the location shown over here. Once you have that up in the command window, paste in the URL, press the Enter key, navigate out to your favorite repos location. Now you want to bring up the Visual Studio Command Window, you can use F1, or you can also use Shift+Control+P, and you're looking for Get Clone.

There's also a shortcut on a PC, that would be Control+Shift+G. So then I'll go over to Visual Studio Code, I'll click on this section. And you'll see the files appear here, after I do the clone. So this shows my Repos folder on my hard drive. I am on a Windows PC but these steps will be similar on Mac or on Linux. Now I'll switch over to Visual Studio Code. Start by going to this URL, then clicking on the Clone or download button, and then copying this URL. I'll show how to use the visual studio code, Get Tools, to make the clone, but this repo can be cloned using whatever Git tools you prefer. That means if you want to follow along, you'll need to claim my repo on your computer. To ensure the code is up to date, I'll host a sample code here, on GitHub. During this course I'll show code examples in some of the videos.
