Download the curriculum to your local machine
- Fork and clone the curriculum to your local machine, use this guide if you don't know how to do that
- Set the upstream remote so you can keep your copy of the curriculum synced with the original. To do that go to your terminal and cd into your cloned odin project curriculum directory. Then use one of the following commands:
If you have ssh set up with Git
```
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:TheOdinProject/rails_course.git
```
Otherwise
```
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/TheOdinProject/rails_course.git
```
Before you start working on your issue create a branch and name it like the following examples: If its a new lesson

$ git checkout -b lesson/new-lesson-name`

If it's a part of a lesson

$ git checkout -b lesson/new-lesson-section-name`

If its a typo or grammar fix

$ git checkout -b fix/what-you-fixed`

If you are working on a new lesson or part of new lesson please work in the template which is linked to in the issue you have chosen.

Push your branch to your fork

$ git push origin <your branch name here>
