Make sure to fill in [team]. For us, they're all values of typefaces, such as helvetica, georgia, etc.

mkdir [team]
cd [team]
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin git@github.com:BrownCS148/[team].git
git push -u origin master

First, put yourself in the parent directory for the git directory you would like to check out. (For instance, say you're in /home/me and clone helvetica.git. Then, your repository will be under /home/me/helvetica.). Then:

git clone git@github.com:BrownCS148/[team].git
