## Finding a Repository

### 1. Check Local First

Always check if the repo exists locally:

```bash
ls ~/repos/github/dwmkerr/<repo-name>
ls ~/repos/github/mckinsey/<repo-name>
```

### 2. If Local Repo Exists

When working with an existing local repo:

1. **Record the current state** before making changes:
   ```bash
   cd ~/repos/github/dwmkerr/<repo>
   ORIGINAL_BRANCH=$(git branch --show-current)
   git stash --include-untracked
   ```

2. **Fetch for reference** if you need other branches:
   ```bash
   git fetch origin
   git checkout origin/main  # or any branch for reference
   ```

3. **Always return to original state** when done:
   ```bash
   git checkout "$ORIGINAL_BRANCH"
   git stash pop
   ```

### 3. If Repo Not Found Locally

Check if it exists on GitHub:

```bash
gh repo view dwmkerr/<repo-name> --json name,url
```

If it exists remotely, clone it:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/dwmkerr/<repo-name> ~/repos/github/dwmkerr/<repo-name>
```

For McKinsey repos:

```bash
gh repo view mckinsey/<repo-name> --json name,url
git clone https://github.com/mckinsey/<repo-name> ~/repos/github/mckinsey/<repo-name>
```
