Step 4: Fork the repository

This is very simple, just go to the Sossoldi repository on GitHub and click on the “Fork” on the top right corner. By doing this you will create a copy of the repository on your account and it will allow you to make changes without affecting the main repository.

(Optional) Download GitHub Desktop

If you are unfamiliar with Git you might want to use GitHub Desktop.
