NodeTodo Getting Started.md

• If you don't already have one, create a GitHub account

---

• Open the Node.js core repository (https://github.com/nodejs/node)

---

• Use the "Fork" button to fork the repository:

---

• On the page for your own fork, use the "Clone or download" button and copy the URL for cloning to your clipboard:

---

• On the command line, in your home directory or a directory you have for projects, run:

git clone <paste that URL here!>

---

• When that is done:

cd node

---

• Then:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/nodejs/node.git

---

• Follow the instructions to build Node.js (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md).
  • You should not install the version of Node.js built with these instructions. Follow the instructions to build and test. Stop at any instructions on installing it in a system directory. For example, do not run make install.
