+#### Recommended Step

+so that you have your own copy that you can modify, then install by cloning the
+fork to your machine using one of the commands below, depending on your OS.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Your fork's URL will be something like this:
+> `https://github.com/<your_github_username>/kickstart.nvim.git`
+
+You likely want to remove `lazy-lock.json` from your fork's `.gitignore` file
+too - it's ignored in the kickstart repo to make maintenance easier, but it's
+[recommended to track it in version control](https://lazy.folke.io/usage/lockfile).

+That's it! Lazy will install all the plugins you have. Use `:Lazy` to view

+#### Read The Friendly Documentation
 
 Read through the `init.lua` file in your configuration folder for more
 information about extending and exploring Neovim. That also includes
 examples of adding popularly requested plugins.
