3️⃣Cloning Repo

Once you follow the link to your repo on GitHub or GitLab, you will see a screen similar to the following:

Example GitHub repository for an assignment

Example GitLab repository for an assignment

The repository that is created for you is private, meaning only you have access to it. The repository contains the contents of the assignment.

The README in the repository will contain the instructions for the assignment.

You can now clone the repo locally, either over HTTPS or SSH. If you are not familiar with this process, please see here for a guide on cloning GitHub repos and here for a guide on cloning GitLab repos.

Once you clone your repo, the next step is to push the changes you make up to your repository.
