Copy a repo without forking

How to copy a GitHub repo without forking

GitHub only lets you fork a repo once, if you want to make more than one copy of a project here's how you can do it. Useful for starter code.

Create a new empty folder for your project and initialize git
```
cd where-you-keep-your-projects
```

mkdir your-project-name
