2. Kindly wait till it gets forked.
3. After that copy will look like <your-user-name>/edu-client forked from codeforcause/edu-client.

🚩 Clone repository :

1. Now you have your own copy of project. Here you have to start your work.
2. Go to desired location on your computer where you want to set-up the project.
3. Right click there and click on git bash. A terminal window will pop up
4. Type the command git clone <your-fork-url>.git and hit enter.(Refer the image to copy url)
5. Wait for few seconds till the project gets copied

🚩 Setting up remote :

1. Now you have to set up remote repositories
2. Type git remote -v in terminal to list remote connections to your repo.
3. It will show something like this:

origin  https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (push)

4. Now type the command git remote add upstream https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-client.git this will set upstream as main directory
5. Again type in command git remote -v to check if remote has been set up correctly
6. It should show something like this :

origin  https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/<your-user-name>/edu-client.git (push)
upstream        https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-client.git (fetch)
upstream        https://github.com/codeforcauseorg/edu-client.git (push)

🚩 Creating a branch :

Whenever you want to contribute to any project. It is best practice that you should create a branch and push the branch as PR rather than directly pushing main/master branch

1. git branch will list all the branched in the repository
2. Now type git branch <your-branch-name>
3. You can check the created branch by git branch
4. But still if you start editing the edits will go to the main branch. To change the path of the edits type in git checkout <your-branch-name>
5. Now you are ready to do the desired changes.

📌 Setting up .env file :

1. Create a new file .env in root directory.
2. Copy all the default content from .env.example file to .env file.
3. You can edit this .env file to provide your own project credentials if needed in future for specific tweaks and tests.

📌 Setting up project using npm :
