1. Challenge

   Create Local Repository Location

   The student is asked to create a world read/write/executable directory called /mnt/baserepo to contain a cloned repository. This can be accomplished when logged in as the 'cloud_user' with the following commands:

   sudo mkdir /mnt/baserepo
   
   sudo chmod 777 /mnt/baserepo
   OR
   sudo chmod a+rwx /mnt/baserepo
   

2. Challenge

   Clone Remote Repository to Local Location

   You are asked to clone a remote repository at https://github.com/linuxacademy/content-source-control-git.git into the recently created /mnt/baserepo directory. This cloning can be completed with the command:

   cd /mnt/baserepo
   
   git clone https://github.com/linuxacademy/content-source-control-git.git .
   

   Note: In this case the '.' is very important since it will clone the repo contents in the /mnt/baserepo directory. Without it, it would clone the repo in a new directory matching the repository name.

3. Challenge

   Clones of LOCAL Repository Made for Service Account

   The student is asked to make a clone of the repository, but use the LOCAL repository as the repository to base the user clone on. This is done by adding a special flag to the clones so it points to the local origination rather than the remote. This is done via:

   mkdir experiment
   cd experiment
   
   git clone --local /mnt/baserepo .
   

   NOTE: It is important to use the '.' in the cloning so that a new subdirectory is not created.
