## Checkout branch from the repository

Let's start by checking out an existing branch of the repository you've been working with so far.  In your working environment, run these commands to start from your home directory and checkout the branch named 'tfc'.

You should have some local changes, we'll stash them before proceeding.

```bash
cd ~/environment/vulnerable-ec2 && \
git stash && \
git checkout tfc
```

Your Terraform Cloud workspace should look something like this in the UI, follow the instructions below
