git clone (url to repository) (directory to clone
to)If there is an existing repository you are planning to start
working on, like one from GitHub that you like, you use
git clone. This command duplicates an existing Git
project from the URL provided into your current
directory with the name of the repository as the directory
name. You can also specify a different name with a
command-line option. Example 2-3 shows an example of
cloning a repository and listing the files in the newly
created local repository.
