-Prior to running `pihole-cloudsync`, you must first create a new dedicated Git repository to store your lists, then clone that new repository to all Pi-holes (both Primary and Secondary) that you wish to keep in sync. The easiest way to do that is to fork my own `my-pihole-lists` GitHub repository. Don't worry if the example lists in that repo are different than yours. You'll overwrite your forked version of the repo with your own Pi-hole lists the first time you run `pihole-cloudsync` in **Push** mode.

The easiest way to do that is to fork my `my-pihole-lists` GitHub repo as a **template**. Do not simply create a regular fork of my example repository. When you fork as a template instead, GitHub will allow you to set your new repository as "Private." Don't worry if the example lists in the example repo are different than yours.
