+### Get the course materials
+
+Everything you'll run in this course lives in one repo. Grab it once, up front — no tools required
+beyond a web browser:
+
+1. Open the course's home page — **`https://git.jpaul.io/justin/the-workflow-course`** — and use its
+   **Download ZIP** (archive) link.
+2. Unzip it under your home directory so the course's `modules/` folder lands at
+   `~/workflow-course/modules/`. (Rename the unzipped folder to `workflow-course` if your download
+   named it something else.)
+
+You now have every module's files locally, including this one's under
+`modules/01-the-copy-paste-problem/`.
+
+> *A cleaner, **updatable** way to get the repo — `git clone` — arrives in **Module 8**, once you've
+> learned Git (Module 2). A one-time ZIP is all you need today; don't reach for `clone` yet.*
+
+> *Verify-before-publish: confirm this download URL points at the published course host before
+> shipping.*
