## How to create and clone a GitHub repository: ##
Creating a repository:
Step 1: Navigate to your GitHub.com profile page and click the "+" in the top right corner. Click "New Repository."
Step 2: Give your new repository a name and description, select 'Public' or 'Private,' and add an appropriate license. Finally, click "Create repository."

Cloning a repository:
Step 1: Navigate to the page of the respository that you would like to clone onto your machine.
Step 2: Find the "HTTPS clone URL" link in the right sidebar of the page. Select and copy the entire URL.
Step 3: Open your shell application.
Step 4: In the command line, type 'git clone [CLONE_URL]' and substitute 'CLONE_URL' with the link that you copied from GitHub. Press 'Enter' or 'Return'.

## What does open source mean?: ##

'Open source' means that anyone can access or contribute to a project for free.

#### What do you think about Open Source? Does it make you nervous or protective? Does it feel like utopia? ####

It depends. For commercial projects, open source obviously doesn't make sense. However, open source has made many projects possible that would have been impractical as private endeavors, and innovations that have come out of the open source community have contributed to many commercial projects. Sometimes the sheer volume of information that's available for free on the internet makes open source feel like a utopian fantasy. However, the growing open source movement can make your inner capitalist shudder.

## Assess the importance of using licenses. ##

Licenses are important because they define the ways that users can modify, distribute, and, generally, use software. A well-drafted license protects copyright holders' intellectual property and protects users from the arbitrary actions of litigious developers.

#### What concepts were solidified in the challenge? Did you have any "aha" moments? What did you struggle with? ####

Practicing my new GitHub skills helped solidify my understanding of the git workflow.

#### Did you find any resources on your own that helped you better understand a topic? If so, please list it. ####

There is an extensive and well-researched Wikipedia page on open source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source
