Clone a repository

Create a local copy (clone) of a repository using the command line.

Cloning a repository sets up a local copy (clone) allowing you to work on projects, make changes and contribute the changes to the main repository. This is crucial for a collaborative development process allowing multiple contributors to work simultaneously, streamlining contributions and minimizing conflicts.

Follow these steps to clone a repository on Protocol.Land:

Note: Ensure you have the git remote helper installed and properly configured to interact with repositories hosted on Protocol.Land using the command line.

1. Navigate to the main page of the repository you wish to clone.

2. On the top-right corner of the page, click “Clone”.

3. A modal will appear displaying the command to clone the repository. Use the Copy Icon to copy this URL.

4. Open your command line interface (CLI).

5. Paste and execute the copied command as follows:

git clone <repo_URL> repo_name

6. This creates a local copy of the repository in a new directory named repo_name.
