You need an account on GitHub. To demonstrate, I am going to use my account and simply fork the repository and use that. I am going to fork 'This repository'.
Use this URL https://github.com/vdm-io/Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets to get to 'This repository'.[00:04:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m16s) Another way to get to 'This repository' is to go to 'Get Snippets' and the moment it has finish loading there is a link which will take you to the GitHub repository and it is this link 'GitHub'. Use that link and you will end up at the same place. But you want to get to Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets.

I suspect this number here(Fork 1) will change and of course, this repository is like 6 days old. I have not even finished the README. There will be a lot of changes to 'This repository' and it will improve. <<<<

### Forked Repository

The first thing you do is click on the button Fork and Forked repository. This will then ask you to select where you want to fork it if you belong to organizations whatever. By then I don't need to explain to you how it works. If for some reason you don't, then you select your personal or whatever organization you want the fork to appear in and then it will copy this repository for you. It's busy doing that. I'm copying it into my account.
The first thing is to use the 'Fork' button and Fork the repository. This will then ask to select where it should be forked, in case you belong to organizations or whatever, and if you do there is no need to explain how it works. If for some reason you do not, then select your personal or whatever organization you want the fork to appear in and then it will copy this repository. It is copied into my account.
### vdm.io/Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets - The Upstream Or Master Branch - Main Branch

Good practice: Every time you want to make a change then you need to follow a few steps in having 'This repository' in sync with the what we call upstream repository. This vdm.io/Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets is what we call the upstream or the master branch or whatever you want to call it, this is the main branch. The one that is being used inside of JCB. Yours isn't directly being used. Whatever changes you make here would not necessarily affect us at all, [00:06:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m20s) but you want to commit your changes to your branch and then make a pull request to the upstream branch where you would like to share this with the community. That's sort of a quick explanation. We'll do this slowly. I'm not going to do the pull request in this tutorial [00:06:42](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m42s) but I'll take you up to the wall and then we will get the ladder out and finish that in the next tutorial.
