Log into GitHub and create a fork of the [meshtastic/meshtastic](https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic) repository.
### Clone your Meshtastic Repository fork
:::note
Replace `YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME` with your GitHub username.

```shell title="Clone your Fork of the Documentation Repository"
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/meshtastic.git
```
### Change directory into your Local Copy

cd ./meshtastic
```
### Install Submodules

git submodule update --init --recursive
```
### Install Dependencies

```
### Run Development Server

## Update Local Repository
### Verify Upstream Remote is Set
```shell title="Check Remote and Upstream Repositories"

```
If it's set, skip to [Align with meshtastic/meshtastic Master branch](#align-with-meshtasticmeshtastic-master-branch)
#### Update/Set Upstream if it isn't configured properly
If upstream exists, set the URL:
```shell title="Update Upstream Repository"
git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic.git
```
If upstream doesn't exist, add the URL:
```shell title="Add Upstream Repository"
git remote add upstream https://github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic.git
```
### Align with meshtastic/meshtastic Master branch
:::caution
This will delete any unfinished work. Make sure that you've saved and committed any work you wish to push up to your fork.
:::
:::info
The following command assumes the clone of your Meshtastic fork is in the home directory (`~/meshtastic`). Adjust the path to the correct path on your machine.
:::
```shell title="Rebase local Meshtastic to remote Meshtastic"
cd ~/meshtastic ; git fetch upstream ; git checkout master ; git rebase upstream/master
```
