<Steps>
### Fork Documenso
Fork the [Documenso repository](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/about-forks) to your GitHub account.
### Clone Repository
After forking the repository, clone it to your local device by using the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/documenso
```
