Clone the forked repository to your computer

Why this task matters

Cloning pulls the Threadbare fork from GitHub onto your machine, creating a local Git repo you can edit.

Steps

1. Get the repository URL. Open the repository on GitHub and look for the green dropdown box that says Code. Copy the HTTPS URL to your clipboard. It will look something like: https://github.com/OrgName/threadbare-yourquest.git
2. Create a folder for your StoryQuest. Navigate to a location like Documents or Desktop. Right-click and select New > Folder. Name it something simple, like storyquest (no spaces or capital letters).
3. Tell Git where to find the new folder. There are two ways to do this:
   a. Use the cd (change directory) command: Open Git and type cd folder-name to go into the new folder (eg, cd C:/Users/YourName/Desktop/StoryQuest). Write this address down for future use. Tip: You can also type dir to list the contents of the current folder you are in.
   b. Use the GitBash folder short-cut: Right-click inside your new StoryQuest folder. Select Open Git Bash Here. This opens a Git terminal directly in that folder.
4. Clone the repository into your folder. Use this command: git clone https://github.com/OrgName/threadbare-yourquest.git .. The final dot (.) tells Git to put the files directly into your current folder instead of creating a subfolder.
5. Check your status
   Run: git status. You should see: On branch main and nothing to commit.

✅ Done! You now have a working copy of the project ready to open in Godot.
