Cloning a repository with Git

in the repository dashboard clone HTTPS

open the git client on your pc if not open already

git clone [THE HTTPS URL FROM GITLAB JUST COPIED]

you'll be prompted to enter a password, this password is different from your GitLab password - if you don't have a password you can set it in the Gitlab Dashboard under user --> preferences --> password

if you managed to clone the repository successfully you'll have the folder in your filesystem

if you made changes to your file that you want to push to the online repository:

git add .

git commit -m "a message describing your changes"

git push

Your changes will be pushed to the repository!

git remote -v
