Clones an existing repository, creating a local copy of it.
|
|
|
|
- Use `git clone <url>` to clone an existing repository from `<url>` to a local directory. The directory's name will be based on the name of the cloned repository.
|
|
- Alternatively, use `git clone <url> [<directory>]` to clone the repository into the specified local `<directory>`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone <url> [<directory>]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
git clone https://github.com/30-seconds/30-seconds-of-code.git
|
|
# Clones the repository in a new directory named '30-seconds-of-code'
|
|
cd 30-seconds-of-code
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/30-seconds/30-seconds-of-code.git my-project
|
|
# Clones the repository in a new directory named 'my-project'
|
|
cd my-project
|
|
```
