Project setup

- [Instructor] Whether you're using the built-in terminal in Visual Studio Code or an external terminal, we'll need some code to try things out. And if you have a Mac, I'll show you how to install an extra command. Now, this is one course where you probably want to use your own repository, but if you want to use one of ours, you can check out this repository, and let me show you how to get this repository as a clean repository with no history. You can try this out with your own as well. I'd like to use a tool called Degit. Sometimes I call it Deget or a Degit. And this is a project scaffolding tool that makes a copy of a repository with absolutely no history. It's pretty handy. It assumes you're using GitHub, but you can also use other hosts, Git-specific branches. It's pretty powerful. Now, I'm going to use a terminal called Hyper, which is a great cross-platform terminal. We'll get into the VS Code terminal soon…
