In this lesson, we're gonna take one of the project templates at Bonder Academy, copy this project under your GitHub account, and then clone this project on your computer. Then later, we're gonna use this project to practice different Git operations. All right, let's jump into it. All right, so let's clone a test project under the personal repository. I will continue using this example repository, but you will need to use your own repository in order to clone the project into your repository. So go here to the search bar and type here, Bonder Academy. Bonder-Academy, and click Enter. In the search result, navigate to the Users folder, and here you can find Bonder Academy, click on that. Here, navigate to Repositories, click on Repositories. For the template that you're gonna work with, you need this one. So click on Playwright Practice App. And here on the right, you need to click on this button, Use This Template, and Create a New Repository. After that, you need to provide a repository name. How would you want to save this repository under your own repository? For example, we can give the same name as the original repository or the alternative name. It's completely up to you. Let's say we call it BWPracticeApp. We see that this name is available, of course, because this is one repository in our project, and Create Repository. Now you will need to wait a little bit while this repository will be copied under your own repository, and that's it. Now you can see a repository is created. We also see it's displayed that it's generated from Bonder Academy. So we can click on Bonder Academy, Playwright Practice App Template, and now we can clone this project to the computer. So you need to click on this button, Code, and we need to select this URL. Simply click on this button to copy this URL into the buffer. Now we need to create a folder where we want to keep the repository on the computer. So for just this demonstration, I will create a new folder just on the desktop. And I will call it, let's say, Git Repo. Now I need to open a new terminal session in this folder. I go to Services, a new Terminal Add folder. If you are using Windows, you just need to open PowerShell or Command Prompt on your computer and navigate to the folder where would you like to keep your repository. After that, we type command git clone space and I paste the URL that we copied on the previous step and hit Enter. All right, application was successfully cloned. Now we can open Visual Studio Code and open the application folder in Visual Studio Code. I go to File, Open Folder, and navigate to the place where the folder is located. It's on the desktop, Git Repo, and I select the pwpracticeapp folder and click Open. All right, we are all set. Project was cloned successfully and we are ready to move to the next lesson.
