If you are using GIT as your version control and you attempt to do a `git pull` and get a “fatal: Where do you want to fetch from today?” message, you need to do either of the following:

# Specify the remote repo
mkdir repo
cd repo && git init
git pull git@github.com:user/repo.git

# Or
# Clone the repo
mkdir repo
cd repo && git clone git pull git@github.com:user/repo.git .
git pull
