Instructions on cloning this repo in preparation for open source contribution #113

Description

@jcsmileyjr

Problem: While the README describes how to run the site locally, it doesn't state for first timers how to on clone the repo, make changes on their personal device, and successfully make a pull request.

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I would like clear additional steps such as:

  1. Forking the code connector repo to your GitHub account
  2. Image of the Clone button on the GitHub site and how to use it
  3. What to do with the "link" on your personal computer
  4. A vague "point in a direction" description on how to make changes
  5. Instructions to push your commits to your forked code connector in your GitHub.
  6. Show how to create a pull request from your forked account to the code connector account.

** Some of these can be vague "point in a direction" as there are many ways to do most of this. The goal is to help a complete first timer**

** The above was some of the things I had to figure out alone while making a contribution to this site but was fortunate that I've done it years ago with help.
