The repository for the assignment is public and Github does not allow the creation of private forks for public repositories.

The correct way of creating a private frok by duplicating the repo is documented here.

For this assignment the commands are:

1. Create a bare clone of the repository. (This is temporary and will be removed so just do it wherever.)

   git clone --bare [email protected]:usi-systems/easytrace.git

2. Create a new repository on Github and name it easytrace.

3. Mirror-push your bare clone to your new easytrace repository.

   Replace <your_username> with your actual Github username in the url below.

   cd easytrace.git
   git push --mirror [email protected]:<your_username>/easytrace.git

4. Remove the temporary local repository you created in step 1.

   cd ..
   rm -rf easytrace.git

5. You can now clone your easytrace repository on your machine (in my case in the code folder).

   cd ~/code
   git clone [email protected]:<your_username>/easytrace.git

6. Make your easytrace repo available in your Vagrant VM by adding the following to your Vagrantfile

   Replace "~/code/easytrace" with your local path to the easytrace repo.

   config.vm.synced_folder "~/code/easytrace", "/easytrace"
   

7. Reload your VM to enable the synced folder (in the folder containing your Vagrant file).

   vagrant reload 

8. The easytrace repo is available at /easytrace once you ssh into the machine.
