The [repository](https://github.com/usi-systems/easytrace) 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](https://help.github.com/articles/duplicating-a-repository/).

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.)
   ```bash
   git clone --bare git@github.com:usi-systems/easytrace.git
   ```

2. [Create a new private repository on Github](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-new-repository/) and name it `easytrace`.
   > If you are unable to create a private repo, you can request unlimited private repos as a studant by getting
   > the [student pack](https://education.github.com/pack) from Github.

3. Mirror-push your bare clone to your new `easytrace` repository.
   > Replace `<your_username>` with your actual Github username in the url below.
   
   ```bash
   cd easytrace.git
   git push --mirror git@github.com:<your_username>/easytrace.git
   ```

4. Remove the temporary local repository you created in step 1.
   ```bash
   cd ..
   rm -rf easytrace.git
   ```
   
5. You can now clone your `easytrace` repository on your machine (in my case in the `code` folder).
   ```bash
   cd ~/code
   git clone git@github.com:<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).
   ```bash
   vagrant reload 
   ```
   
8. The `easytrace` repo is available at `/easytrace` once you ssh into the machine.
