How To Clone a GitHub Repository.

Working with Linux allows a user to unlock many possibilities. Although, being already pack full of tools to perform countless operations on install, it is inevitable that a user will be faced with the task of cloning a GitHub library in-order to further expand or develop a new skill set. So, here is the easiest way to perform this action.

Firstly, go into your Linux browser and search for the GitHub repository you are looking for. Then after finding the page, copy the URL.

I personally always recommend to clone a GitHub repository into an already existing directory such as Desktop or Downloads and for specific types of GitHub repositories you may need to use 

" cd /var/www/html " for web severs and web applications.

Secondly, open a new terminal and type the following command "git clone" followed by your URL and do not forget to add a ".git" at the end.

Press enter and voila!

Finally, i would always recommend that for any download/clone you perform, check the directory as sometimes (very rarely) the clone or download may have experienced an error or other problems.
