How to clone an existing Git repository from a remote server?

To clone an existing Git repository from a remote server, follow these steps:

  1. Open your terminal or command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.
  3. Run the following command: git clone <remote-repository-url>
    • Replace <remote-repository-url> with the URL of the remote repository.
    • For example, if the repository's URL is https://github.com/exampleuser/example-repo.git, the command would be: git clone https://github.com/exampleuser/example-repo.git
  4. Press Enter to execute the command.
  5. Git will start cloning the remote repository to your local machine. You should see progress and status messages indicating the progress of the cloning process.
  6. Once the cloning process is complete, you will have a new directory with the same name as the repository in your chosen location.
  7. Now, you can make changes to the code and use Git to manage your local repository.
