🏃‍♂️ Action Guide

1. Fork the Repository

1. Go to the KulKul Fellowship GitHub Repo.
2. Click the Fork button in the top-right corner.
3. Select your GitHub username as the target. Keep the name fellowship and click Create Fork.

2. Clone the Repository and Submodules Locally

Open your terminal (WSL terminal for Windows, native terminal for macOS/Linux) and clone your fork using SSH:

# Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username
git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/fellowship.git
cd fellowship

# Initialize and pull the sandbox submodule codebase
git submodule update --init --recursive

3. Verify Required Repository Files

We require every fellowship repository to have two core files in the root directory. Verify they are present:

1. AGENTS.md: Describes the repository’s index structure and workspace configurations.
2. DESIGN.md: Defines the design system links pointing to getdesign.md.

You can list all files in the root to confirm:

ls -la

Ensure AGENTS.md and DESIGN.md appear in the output.
