* **Question:** What is the difference between forking and cloning a repository as opposed to just cloning a repository?

* **Your Answer:**
* **Your Answer:** Forking a repo creates a link between the original repo and your repo that allows you to make a pull request later. Cloning a repo just creates a copy.

* **Question:** What does `npm init` do? How does the `-y` flag modify that command?

* **Question:** What is the purpose of the following keys? "name", "scripts", "license"

- [ ] Create a `.gitignore` file

* **Question:** What is the purpose of the `.gitignore` file? What is the significance of a "dot-file?"

* **Your Answer:**
* **Your Answer:** A gitignore file tells git to ignore certain files or filetypes so it won't try and commit them to the repo - super helpful for things like thumbs.db and other generated files, API keys, node _modules, private. Any dot-file is generally hidden from the finder/file explorer.

* **Question:** From the command line, how can you run this file?

* **Your Answer:**
* **Your Answer:** node index.js

---

- [ ] Run `npm test` from the command line

* **Question:** What happens and how is this related to what is in the `package.json` file?

* **Your Answer:**
* **Your Answer:** npm attempts to run the script "test" but since we don't really have one in the package.json we get an error.

To be more precise, right now the "test" script points towards a command that will throw that error. It's not just that we have no tests.

* **Question:** What will you enter on the command line to run that script?

* **Your Answer:**
* **Your Answer:** npm start

---

- [ ] Change the name of your "start" script to "my-file"

* **Question:** The same pattern will not work to try and run this script. How can you successfully get this script to run?

* **Your Answer:**
* **Your Answer:** npm run my-file. The run is needed when the npm command isn't baked in.
