Step 4 - Open the sandbox
On the intranet, just under the task, click on the button and run to start the machine.
Once the container is started, click on to open a shell where you can start work from.
Step 5 - Clone your repository
On the webterm of the sandbox, do the following:
Clone your repository
root@896cf839cf9a:/# git clone
https://{YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN}@github.com/{YOUR_USERNAME}/alx-zero_day.git
Cloning into 'alx-zero_day'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
Replace {YOUR_PERSONAL_TOKEN} with your token from step 1
Replace {YOUR_USERNAME} with your username from step 0 and 1
Pro-Tip: On windows, use CTRL + A + V to paste in the web terminal
Step 6 - Create the README.md and push the modifications
Navigate to this new directory. Tips
