Setup Your Own VM Lab Lab Setup

Make a new repository on GitHub named setup-your-own-vm-lab.

Open your Terminal application and navigate to your ~/code/ga/labs directory:

cd ~/code/ga/labs

Clone a copy of your remote repo locally by using the git clone command:

git clone https://git.generalassemb.ly/<your-username>/setup-your-own-vm-lab.git

🚨 Do not copy the above command. It will not work. Your GitHub username will replace <github-username> (including the < and >) in the URL above.

Next, cd into your new cloned directory, setup-your-own-vm-lab:

cd setup-your-own-vm-lab

Create a new markdown file named create-a-vm.md:

touch create-a-vm.md

Open the project’s folder in VS Code:

code .

Open the create-a-vm.md file in VS Code and add the following content:

# Create a VM lab

## Your first VM



## Your second VM

You’ll use markdown, a language for creating formatted text using a plain-text editor, to document the steps you take to complete this lab.

You may want to quickly get up to speed on markdown text syntax by going through this tutorial before you begin or reference it as you go. Don’t worry; you’ll mostly write plain text in the create-a-vm.md file.

You should ensure you have Word Wrap turned on in VS Code before continuing. You can do this by going to the menu bar and selecting View > Word Wrap. If the Word Wrap option is checked, then it is enabled.
