Fork and clone the “Hello World” project

This Hello World tutorial shows you how to fork and clone a project in WVS using the “Hello World” project as an example. Forking a project means making your own copy of a project. Cloning a project means to download a project from the cloud to your local machine so that you can work on that project. The other “Hello World” tutorials all use the project that you fork in this tutorial as example.
