Hi there.... Cloning a repo might be some what confuse and difficult to newbies using Github. Actually, it was kinda difficult for me at the first instance of trial but then i discovered this app called Github Desktop. So basically, after signing in with my Github account, some sidebar options appeared and what i've been looking for was right there (Cloning a Repo from the internet).
So i just followed the steps which are:
- Click Clone a Repo from the internet
- A menu then appears showing Github.com, Github Enterprise and URL
- Click the URL option tab
- Next, Copy the URL of the Repo you want to clone from the Github account
- Paste the URL in the URL box available
- Click clone
- After the cloning process, a new menu appears with three options #Open in Visual Studio Code #Open in Explorer #View in Github
- Choose a choice, but i preferably chose Open in Explorer and then i uploaded it on my Github as a repo.
Challenges
- Had problems navigating the Github Desktop application, as i was just using it for the first
time. Didn't understand much on the screen so i had to test a few features on the app before i finally got the right thing.
So feel free to try it out yourself...It works....
