Working with 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.

Download Zip within Github

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

Clone GitHub repo

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! 🏃‍♀️

If you’re new to GitHub…

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.
