🔵 Take Ownership

Make the example project yours for experimentation.

WHY?

We typically begin working projects with a similar project.

Use the working example to create an independent project with:

your own Git history,
your own GitHub repository,
your name as the project author,
your own project description,
your own repository and documentation links.

The original example remains available as a textbook and reference. Your new repository becomes the custom project to modify and submit.

Goal

Disconnect the local project from the example Git repository, update the project identity, and publish it as a new repository in your own GitHub account.

Steps

Part 1. In GitHub (via web browser)

Part 2. In VS Code Terminal:

In VS Code, with the example project open,

Success

Before continuing, verify:

[ ] The project is connected to a repository in your GitHub account.
[ ] Your name appears as the project author where required.
[ ] Repository and documentation URLs point to your project.
[ ] The project runs successfully.
[ ] The standard checks pass.
[ ] Your first commits are visible in your GitHub repository.
