Working with GitHub

Advent of CSS on GitHub

GitHub is a perfect place for storing your code, whether you’re working by yourself, with a team, or sharing code (like I am) with others.

The simplest way to get code out of GitHub and onto your machine is to download a zip.

Downloading a Zip from GitHub

If you’re more comfortable with the Terminal and already have git installed on your computer, then you can copy the URL:

and run git clone <URL>. Then, inside the downloaded project folder, you’ll need to run yarn install . This might take a minute, as it’s downloading all the project dependencies. Now, you can run yarn rw storybook and you’re off to the races! 🏃‍♀️

Our use of GitHub will be fairly limited. It’s just a way to deliver code to you! But, if you want to dig in and learn more, I have an series on YouTube on working with Git. I recorded it several years ago, but its evergreen. All the content is still useful and relevant.
