-Now we are ready to use Git to create a local copy ("​clone"​) of the module codebase. On Windows, open a PowerShell, which you can do by typing ''​PowerShell''​ in the search box of the Start menu. Once open, note your working directory (displayed at the prompt of your now opened shell), and change it to a different location if you prefer, using the ``cd`` command. Once you are in an appropriate location, such as a new folder named ''​GitHub''​ on your local machine, type ''​git clone https://​github.com/​vandermeerlab/​nsb2021'',​ which will create a new folder ''​nsb2021''​ in your working directory.+Now we are ready to use Git to create a local copy ("​clone"​) of the module codebase.
