Copy the template

This is the moment you get your own project.

Remember the house analogy? The Gista.js starter template is that house — with the plumbing, wiring, and foundation already done. You're about to make your own copy of it.

Go to github.com/gistajs/spa — this is the template with everything included.

?What is an SPA?

Quick vocab: on GitHub, a project is called a repository (or "repo" for short). Every repo belongs to an owner, and the URL follows that pattern — gistajs/spa means the repo named "spa" owned by "gistajs." In a minute, you'll have your own copy under your own account, like yourname/spa.

Click the green Use this template button, then select Create a new repository. Don't worry about what those mean — it just copies the template into your own account.

On the next screen, you'll give it a name and claim your own copy.
