- [Instructor] As you get started with this course,
I want you to know that I have exercise files
available for you to use in this GitHub repository.
In order for you to get started using it,
you need a GitHub account, if you don't already have one.
How this course is structured is that
you have all the lessons hosted in GitHub branches.
And for each branch you have a begin states
and an end states.
For branches where you have just begin states,
it means that there are no code changes made in that branch.
For example, if you're working on a lesson like 02_01,
you would have a begin and an end state for that.
The begin state indicates
that there is no code changes made in that lesson
for the branch,
and the end state to indicate
that branch contains all the code changes
that was made in that lesson.
Next, you need to create a fork for the repo,
and to do that, you click the fork button
and create your fork.
This would be a copy for you to work with
throughout this course.
Once you've created the fork
the next step would be to clone the repo
by heading over to this code button.
And after you have it cloned in your local machine
you can always check out to the different branches
you're working on for each lesson
by using the git checkout command
and work from the specified branch.
So there you go.
That's how you use the exercise files
as a guide throughout this course.
