# Clone the VRC Repo

Open a folder on your computer in File Explorer that you want to download the VRC repository to. Right-click, and select "Open Git Bash Here".

In the console window that opens, copy and paste the following command:

```
git clone https://github.com/bellflight/VRC-2021-Phase-I.git
```

Hit Enter to run it, and `git` will now download a copy of the VRC Phase 1 repository into a new `VRC-2021-Phase-I` folder.
