Directions

1. Clone this Repository

   • Download VSCode if you don't have it downloaded already (see our installation guide!)

   • Open VSCode

   • Open a new window if you have another project, File > New Window

   • Choose Clone Git Repository... from the Start options OR Open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where you want to store the project (hint: use the command cd [PATHNAME], and run the following command: git clone [HTTPS_LINK_TO_REMOTE_REPO]

     

   • Open the new cloned folder in VSCode

   • Write your code in the index.html and index.css files from the list of files on the left. If you don't see the files in the folder, choose the explorer which looks like pages in the upper part of the left navigation

   • Make your edits! 😎

Submission

Once you've completed your Instagram clone, make sure to review the requirements and ensure you've met them all. Then, submit your assignment by making a commit:

• In VSCode, choose the branch icon in the left navigation bar (below the magnifiying glass

  

• Type a message into the field at the top of the bar that opens

• Choose the plus button that appears when you hover over changes; this prepares all of the changes you made to be packaged into a commit

• Hit the commit button!

• Hit that button again in order to send your commit from your local repository to the remote one (syncing the two repositories)

• You're done!! 🎉🎉🎉
