git:repository:clone
Clones a git repository to your local machine.
$ git clone ${repository_url}
try on your machine
The "git clone" command is used to create a copy, or "clone", of a remote repository onto your local machine.
In the command:
git clone ${repository_url}${repository_url} is a placeholder for the URL of the repository you want to clone. You need to replace ${repository_url} with the actual URL.
For example, if you want to clone a repository with the URL "https://github.com/example/repo.git", you would use the command:
git clone https://github.com/example/repo.gitWhen you run this command, Git will create a copy of the entire repository, including all of its files, commit history, and branches, in a new directory on your local machine. This allows you to have a local version of the repository that you can work with, make changes to, and push back to the remote repository if needed.
