Your child theme is done. You can now change your appearance > theme to retrotube-child. Any time you want to modify a template, you simply copy the file from the mother theme. For example, if you want to edit /retrotube/template-parts/content-video.php, then you would copy it to /retrotube-child/template-parts/content-video.php
