The second image in this readme isn't rendering

Screenshots and text in the "Copy a Repository to Your Local Machine with git clone" section need to be updated. Also, one of the images isn't rendering

Hello. The lesson mentions the "git fork" command throughout the lesson, but never explains how to use it. Instead, the lesson shows how to use GitHub's "Fork" button.

Technically, there IS a Git command called "git fork", but I don't think it's supposed to be in this lesson. I have fixed this in a pull request (along with a small typo) here: https://github.com/learn-co-students/git-version-control-getting-code-with-git-v-000/pull/1.

Thanks for looking into this!

Hi, just a quick typo on first line "Louve" to "Louvre".

It's like saying "Hey, can I have the Louvre's version of The Mona Lisa?" The Louve would say, "No." If you were to create a perfect online duplicate by forking it from louvre/mona_lisa to your-name/mona_lisa, and then were to clone from that remote repository, then the Louvre can keep their copy and you can update your copy as you choose.

Needs to be updated to reflect how Github really is. Does not say "Clone or download" in green and formatting is different.
