**Video summary: Collaborating on GitHub is like writing a story with friends, where everyone can add their part.**  
In this video, you'll see how multiple people can work together on the same project using GitHub, just like friends adding pages to a shared storybook. You'll learn how to invite others, make changes, and keep everyone's work in sync.

When you want to work on a project with others using GitHub, you can invite teammates to join your repository. Think of it like handing out pages in a group scrapbook—everyone can add their own designs, drawings, or notes. By giving others access, you let them suggest changes, fix mistakes, or add new ideas. This way, the project grows with everyone's contributions, and you can see who added what and when.

```
# To copy a project from GitHub to your computer, use:
git clone https://github.com/username/project-name.git
```

When you use `git clone`, you make a copy of the entire project from GitHub onto your own computer. This includes all the files, folders, and history. After cloning, you can start working on your part—whether that's fixing a bug, adding a new feature, or simply editing a file. Once you've made your changes, you can share your updates with the group, making sure everyone stays on the same page.

```
# Make a change to a file, then save it.
git add changed-file.txt
git commit -m "Add my part to the group story"
git push
```
