clone github in new laptop

gistfile1.txt

simple version ...
go to folder that will house your root folder
git clone git@github.com:joncode/becker_sqlite.git
bundle install
rake db:migrate
rake db:seed

... this runs git init for you 
... you could also clone from mac, but I am getting an error in my local mac OSX

how to get another branch to clone to your local repo ...
git branch branch_name       # make a new branch to pull to 
git checkout branch_name     # go to that branch
git pull git@github.com:joncode/becker_sqlite.git branch_name
                             # pull from cloud into that branch on your local repo
                             # dont think branch_name for checkout (local) and branch_name for pull (cloud) need to be same

be prepared for things to break ... 
      you may need to sudo gem update  before bundle install if rake db:migrate doesn't work
      the gemfile ! - you may need to update and fix gems and dependencies - 
      the database ! - seed.rb file that will work and get you to the right data
