Example: after a clinic, an experience engineer shared a link to the codebase in this repo https://github.com/LaunchAcademy/high-card-dealer-with-tests/tree/boston-44
This is a link to the branch that the code for that clinic is available at. Different branches for a codebase likely have different implementations from different cohorts.
Take the base URL from the clinic. You get this if you click on the Github repo title e.g. high-card-dealer-with-tests
, or by removing the segments of the url beginning with /tree
So https://github.com/LaunchAcademy/high-card-dealer-with-tests/tree/boston-44
becomes
https://github.com/LaunchAcademy/high-card-dealer-with-tests
Run the following
git clone <base_url>
cd <name-of-app>
code .
If the work was done on a branch, you can also then switch branches and you will get the version shared by an EE
git checkout <branch-name>
Which would translate to the following for the link shared at the top:
git clone https://github.com/LaunchAcademy/high-card-dealer-with-tests
cd high-card-dealer-with-tests
git checkout boston-44
code .
