One of the best things I learned a few years ago, was that you can checkout a projects "home page" from github. That is:
```
git clone https://www.github . com/username/project
```
just works. so in a browser I find the project I want to clone, cmd-l to select the url, cmd-c to copy it, then switch to the terminal to clone it.
don't have to fiddle w/ clicking the code drop down, or manually adding the .git extension.
