# Don't forget to also replace all occurences of $(echo $DISK | cut -f1 -d\ )# with $(echo $DISK | cut -f1 -d\ )p#

How to copy a GitHub repo without forking

GitHub only lets you fork a repo once, if you want to make more than one copy of a project here's how you can do it. Useful for starter code.

1. Create a new empty folder for your project and initialize git

   cd where-you-keep-your-projects

mkdir your-project-name

class Solution {
public:
    TreeNode* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
        if (!root) return nullptr;
        if (root->val == p->val || root->val == q->val) return root;
        
        TreeNode* left = lowestCommonAncestor(root->left, p, q);
        TreeNode* right = lowestCommonAncestor(root->right, p, q);
        if (!left) return right;
        if (!right) return left;

If you want to login as root using SSH or SFTP you need to edit the config of SSHD, do this:

Login, and edit this file: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Find this line: PermitRootLogin without-password
Edit: PermitRootLogin yes
Close and save file
reboot or restart sshd service using: /etc/init.d/ssh restart
Set a root password if there isn't one already: sudo passwd root
Now you can login as root, but I recommend you using strong password or ssh-keys
