To fork a project on GitHub, go to the [project page](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk) and click the 'Fork' button in the upper right corner, then follow the on screen instructions.

If this is the first time you clone your personal fork of the [openjdk/jdk](https://github.com/openjdk/jdk) repository you may want to create an SSH key to use with it. See [Generating an SSH key] below. Once you have your personal fork and an SSH key to go with it, go ahead and clone.
