How to import this project into Eclipse

There are a lot of steps here! Don't try to memorize them, just practice. Whenever you click next, or open a menu, see if you can read it, guess what you should do next, and confirm with these steps. Doing it this way will help you get through it quicker for future assignments.

2. Expand the Git Folder and choose "Projects from Git"
3. Click "Next"
4. Choose "Clone URI"
5. Copy and paste https://github.com/amgrubb/CSC223-ValleyBikeSim.git into the URI field.
6. Click "Next"
7. Wait for it to find "master"

12. Click "Next"
13. Click "Finish"
