hi everyone my name is Jean-Christophe Chouinard
today we will learn how to clone a GitHub repository on your Windows computer
everything you need for this video tutorial is available within my blog
https://www.jcchouinard.com/clone-git...
you can have all the information I'm telling you right now here in a written
format so first what we need in order to be able to clone a GitHub repository on
Windows is to have git installed so we will go to the command prompt and we
will search for git not search but we will put the Git Version command and here you can see that I have git installed
so if you don't have git installed what you want to do is you can either go to
my blog post at https://www.jcchouinard.com/install-git/
and you have all the information to install git on both Windows and Mac
within this article if you don't if you don't me need me to tell you how to do it you can go to get
scm.com and there you have the installation package to install get on Windows if you are on Mac I would suggest you use using these commands that I have on my website
next you want to have GitHub installed so I already have GitHub installed but
you can go easily through the process of installing your home GitHub account I
won't show it to you here but you can do it yourself
so next what you want to do is you want
to open git bash you can go into your
folder here that any folder that you've
created so you can see I've created an
empty uh folder to be able to host my
GitHub repository
so I will right click within my folder
click on show more options and open git
bash here
so git bash will allow me to interact
with GitHub
so first I will create a GitHub
repository so I can create a new
repository here
and I can call that temporary
uh repo
and I want to make it private because I
won't do anything with it I can add a
readme file and create a repo
so now that we've created that new
repository what we want to do is we want
to clone it on uh windows so what we do
we click on code and then we click on
the copy button right here it will copy
the URL that we need in order to clone
that GitHub repository locally
so once we've done that we go back to
git Bash
and within git bash we will use the git
clone command
and then here we will paste
the link that we just copied this will
start cloning into your temporary
Repository
and if you look here it's been cloned
and it has the readme file that we
initiate
so this is how you actually manage to
clone a GitHub repository on windows so
thank you very much and see you next
time
