Clone Repositories

Clone the Digital Age repo

Now it's time to clone your first repo. You should start with cloning Digital Law Lab. That's where we keep the tools for the Code Lifcycle

Click on this Digital Law Lab link
Click on and then click on the copy icon to copy the URL to the repo:
Now clone the repo into your new Software directory
(hint: you can type git clone and then press Ctrl-V to paste in the URL you just copied above)
```
cd $home\Software
git clone https://github.com/Digital-Law-Lab/Digital-Law-Lab
```

Clone a Docassemble repo

All Docassemble repos start with docassemble-. Find one of those and clone it to your Software directory using the instructions above.

Set up a Docassemble Project

In your Docassemble Playground, create a 'Project' for the repo you just cloned. You need one project for every repo you clone.
A good idea is to match your Playground Project name with your cloned repo. So, if your docassemble repo is called docassemble-PackageName, then you should call your Playground Project 'PackageName'.

Select 'Manage Projects' from here:
Select 'Add a new project'
Type in the name
Click on 'Save'

Now you have your first Project read to go!
