What Is a Git Clone?
A clone copies a repository from GitHub (or another remote) to your computer, including all its history. Once cloned, you can edit files locally, commit changes, and push them back up.
When you clone
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git- You get a working copy of the whole project on your machine.
Cloning is the first step of virtually every development workflow.
