## Basic Git commands

### Clone down a repository
|
||||
### Clone a repository
|
||||
|
||||
To start working locally on an existing remote repository,
|
||||
clone it with `git clone <repository path>`. By cloning a
|
||||
repository, you'll download a copy of its files in your
|
||||
local computer, preserving the Git connection with the
|
||||
remote repository.
|
||||
|
||||
You can either clone it via HTTPS or [SSH](../ssh/README.md).
|
||||
If you chose to clone it via HTTPS, you'll have to enter your
|
||||
credentials every time you pull and push. With SSH, you enter
|
||||
your credentials once and can pull and push straight away.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find both paths (HTTPS and SSH) by navigating to
|
||||
your project's landing page and clicking **Clone**. GitLab
|
||||
will prompt you with both paths, from which you can copy
|
||||
and paste in your command line.
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, consider a repository path:
|
||||
|
||||
* `https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`
|
||||
* `git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git`
|
||||
|
||||
To get started, open a terminal window in the directory
|
||||
you wish to clone the repository files into, and run one
|
||||
of the following commands.
|
||||
|
||||
Clone via HTTPS:
|
||||
|
||||
This is for you to get a copy of the repository from a ongoing project, where REPOSITORY-URL is the url to your git repository. It will be placed in a folder that has the same name as your repository by default.
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone REPOSITORY-URL
|
||||
git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once your repository is cloned, you can change your working directory to the new folder and use the other commands below.
|
||||
Clone via SSH:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone git@gitlab.com:gitlab-org/gitlab-ce.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd REPOSITORY
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Both commands will download a copy of the files in a
|
||||
folder named after the project's name.
|
||||
|
||||
You can then navigate to the directory and start working
|
||||
on it locally.
