 # vfastronauts
-A hands-on guide to learning Git.
+
+Your personalized, hands-on guide to learning Git and GitHub.
+
+## What is this?
+
+This is a README that corresponds to `vfastronauts`, a public GitHub ["repo"](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-repositories) that I created but that you can contribute to.
+
+[README](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-readmes) = well, you should read it. Per Github, "You can add a README file to your repository to tell other people why your project is useful, what they can do with your project, and how they can use it."
+
+## What you'll do
+
+Before your first day at Astronomer, you'll be ahead if you can do the following:
+
+1. [Clone a GitHub repo](https://help.github.com/en/articles/cloning-a-repository) (aka download its contents to your "local machine", aka computer)
+2. [Create a GitHub "Issue"](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-issues) (aka something you want to fix, edit, add, delete)
+3. Create a branch (aka a copy of those same files)
+4. Make a change to a file on your own branch (and save it, but without affecting the original file in the "master" branch)
+5. [Submit a "Pull Request"](https://help.github.com/en/articles/about-pull-requests) - aka push up that change for review by someone else
+6. ["Merge" that change to "master"](aka publish it and port those changes back up to the original file)
+
+## What you need
+
+1. Your Terminal (this is an "app" that comes by default on your computer - look it up in Spotlight)
+2. A Code Editor. Pick one of the two:
+   - [Atom](https://atom.io/)
+   - [VSCode](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
+3. A GitHub Account
+   - [Create an account](https://github.com/join?source=header-home) (use your Astro email address)
+4. Doritos with lime (*optional*)
+
+## Where to start
+
+Everything you need to do will be in the form of a GitHub issue. With your name on it.
