1) Setup a new Github under your account

Make an account with your @nevada.unr.edu email in order to receive private repositories. When making the repository do not initialize with a README or .gitignore. Be sure to make this repository Private. Once created there is a box that has git remote add origin https://github.com/<UserName>/<RepoName>.git. Be sure to copy and save that single line of code.

2) Clone the computer-graphics repository and change remote

In this step use the terminal and change to a directory where you would like the assignments stored. Then clone the repository and change the remote to point to the newly create repository in step 1. By the end of the new computer-graphics repository should be on your newly created repository.

git clone https://github.com/HPC-Vis/computer-graphics.git
rm -rf .git/
git init
git add .
git commit -m "First Commit"
# Run the line saved from Step 1
git push -u origin master
