Download an Existing Repo

Sometimes you need to download a repository that already exists on GitLab. Maybe you're joining a team, setting up a new computer, or contributing to someone else's project. This is what git clone does.

To clone your calculator project to a different location (just to see how it works):

cd ~

# Change the URL to match your GitLab repository
git clone git@gitlab.com:yourusername/my-calculator.git ~/my-calculator-copy
