+
+==========================================
+Making your own copy (fork) of nitime
+==========================================
+
+You need to do this only once. The instructions here are very similar
+to the instructions at http://help.github.com/forking/ - please see that
+page for more detail. We're repeating some of it here just to give the
+specifics for the nitime_ project, and to suggest some default names.
+
+Set up and configure a github_ account
+======================================
+
+If you don't have a github_ account, go to the github_ page, and make one.
+
+You then need to configure your account to allow write access - see the
+``Generating SSH keys`` help on `github help`_.
+
+Create your own forked copy of nitime_
+=========================================
+
+#. Log into your github_ account.
+#. Go to the nitime_ github home at `nitime github`_.
+#. Click on the *fork* button:
+
+ .. image:: forking_button.png
+
+ Now, after a short pause and some 'Hardcore forking action', you
+ should find yourself at the home page for your own forked copy of nitime_.
+
+.. include:: git_links.inc
