About

In 1996 The Roslin Institute from Scotland cloned a sheep called Dolly. A big step in the history of humankind. You don't need to clone a sheep in this project, don't worry. Instead of Dolly, clone a remote repository. A clone is a copy of a repository, created in a new directory. The aim is usually to make a local copy of a remote repository that is hosted on a third-party service. After this, you can work on your local copy, make changes, and push the changes back.

I've seen many things in this project, from using git status to check the status to git branch -d. It was a very interesting experience and I was doing it also in my own terminal to experience with it.
