Cloning Samples

To get started, we are going to clone the product catalog from https://Github.com/flakio/catalog to your local machine. Because later in the chapter we will use local volume mounting, it’s important that you run your clone command from within a user folder like the “Documents” (C:users<username>Documents) folder. This is because VirtualBox only mounts user folders by default.

From a Mac terminal, type the following:

Click here to view code image

cd ~
mkdir DockerBook
cd DockerBook
git clone https://github.com/flakio/catalog

From the Windows command prompt, type the following (replace the username as appropriate) to create a new directory named “DockerBook” and clone our repository into it as shown in Figure 4.4:

Click here to view code image

cd c:Users<username>Documents
mkdir DockerBook
cd DockerBook
Git clone https://github.com/flakio/catalog

Now that we have the code locally, the first thing we’re going to do is set up our project using live reload.
