Trouble cloning fork from github to my local machine

Hello all,

I am having a ton of trouble today cloning my for from github using Ubuntu on windows as my shell and visual studio code. Here is a link of how the prework says to do it, but as I follow along I receive a error message in the terminal of visual studio code after typing "learn test" into the terminal that says:

learn : The term 'learn' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the
path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ learn test
+ ~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (learn:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

So the VS terminal does not know the command "learn". Does default command interpreter (bash?) know about "learn" ? It might be as simple as adding a directory to the PATH variable.
Not sure why we should be watching a 9.5 minute video ?

Hi there,
If you're using WSL, you should be able to just install git, and call git clone
$ apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/repoPath.git
