Git Clone
You need to have git installed before you can start.
Before you can work with a git repository locally you need to clone it. Cloning can happen with ssh like this:
git clone git@github.com:eliotmuirgrid/core.git
For this to work you’ll need to have access to the repository and have a public ssh key registered with your cloud git provider.
Or you can do it by https, which for public repos won’t require authentication:
git clone https://github.com/eliotmuirgrid/core.git
This is what a typical successful git clone looks like:
Eliots-MacBook-Pro-2:scratch eliotmuir$ git clone git@github.com:eliotmuirgrid/core.git

It’s helpful to understand that GIT is a distributed network application.
