How do you clone an existing repository?

To clone an existing repository, you use the git clone command followed by the URL of

the remote repository:

git clone

This command creates a copy of the repository on your local machine, including all its files

and history.

Real-World Example:

If you're joining an open-source project on GitHub, you can clone the repository to your

machine by running the git clone command. This gives you access to the full codebase

to start contributing.
