To get to 'This repository' it's this URL https://github.com/vdm-io/Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets. Another way to get 'This repository' [00:04:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m16s) is you go to Get Snippets and then the moment it's finish loading there is a link that you can click which will take you to the GitHub repository and it's this link gitHub. We could click that and as you see we end up at the same place. You could either just follow this URL up here or use that link. But you want to get to Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets. [00:04:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m47s) Since everybody that wants to contribute will need to fork it. I suspect this number here(Fork 1) will change and of course, this repository is like 6 days old. I haven't even finished the README. There will be a lot of changes to 'This repository' and it will improve.

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 all the way up to the wall and then we will get the ladder out and finish that in the next tutorial.

Once you've done this forking of the main repository, you need to clone this repository down to your own developing environment. That is what I'll do next. You would click on Clone and depending on how you've got git set up on your developing environment. [00:07:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m14s) Again those tutorials you'll need to do before coming here. You would select either SSH or HTTPS. I would suggest using SSH as this is of course more secure. We'll just copy git@github.com:Llewellynvdm/Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets.git and then I'm going to use my users home folder for now. I am in the command line. I'm running Linux so if you're using Windows [00:07:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m47s) you'll need to watch tutorials on how to do Git in Windows. You might end up using a tool instead of command line, but if you did that you'll also be having had watched tutorials to help you sort of understand what I'm doing. First we going to clone it. I've cloned it and we now have a folder call Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets. I'm going to change it into that folder [00:08:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h08m19s) with cd and a folder name: Joomla-Component-Builder-Snippets and there we go I'm in the folder and if I do ls - la we'll see all the files that was on GitHub in that folder. We want to change these files, but we're not going to change them directly. We're going to use JCB to do the dirty work for us because we might have issues with the scapeing and all kinds of things that can go wrong. So just to have good convention whatever changes you want to make, even if you want to add files or new libraries whatever, you do it in JCB and you do the export package. [00:09:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hgHeQVTLOk&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h09m01s) You should check that if you export a snippet that it has three values always set. And those three values we'll scrutinize it when you make a pull request but that those name conventions be standard. It's quite important as you can see this, we've got the library name Uikit, it's uppercase u and space lowercase v2, then Common with uppercase. (Common) is the type of snippet, then it's the name 'Animation' and obviously it is a json file.
