This brief howto discusses several ways to copy a GitHub Java project into your own workspace so you can edit, compile, and run/test it.
This method is highly discouraged because it is tedious and error-prone.
- Create a new project in your development environment, such as IntelliJ IDEA.
- For each file in the GitHub project you are copying, create a file in your new project, then copy and paste the contents of the original file to your local file.
