There are two main ways to do a “git clone” from GitHub: via HTTPS and via SSH. These are just two popular protocols that computers use to communicate. However, each way may require a little bit of setup to get working in GitHub.
What is “git clone” though? “Git clone” is a command that copies files from a remote server onto your local machine. It’s one of the first Git commands you need to learn to start using GitHub and Git. GitHub and Git are crucial tools to learn for anyone who is learning how to code or build personal coding projects and applications.
I will be going over these two because these are the only two ways I have used “git clone” at my software jobs. Setting these up with GitHub can be intimidating, frustrating, and discouraging if you’re just starting out. Once you learn how to “git clone”, you’ll be ready to start using git with your code!

Thanks a lot man u made my day.

[@henrikmdev]

Glad I could help 😃

Glad I could help 🙂

hi thanks for the explanation! is there any crucial differente between token and ssh keys methods? i would rather use the token version cuz I had a conflict ssh key from other ssh service (aws)

[@henrikmdev]

The only difference I think is the level of security. I'd think ssh keys are more secure. But if security is not something you're too worried about, then token is good too. Are you able to get that working?

[@jeucasulo]

@@henrikmdev ok got it. Yes its working :) Thanks for that

[@dwijesh009]

i cloned the git using the ssh method as you explained and it was successful, the folders and all the files which are there in my friends github is there on my machine, we are working on a group project and I was invited to join the group and later I used the CLI and followed your method step by step and got the files on my machine but now when I try to open the project file on my visual studio for mac, I cannot open it because the visual studio is not recognising the clone and i am unable to see the open button, please help

[@dwijesh009]

I got the solution too I didn’t restart my Mac, I restarted it and now it’s working fine

[@henrikmdev]

Hmm I haven't seen that issue before. What do you mean by "visual studio is not recognizing the clone"? Did you connect visual studio to your GitHub account?

[@henrikmdev]

@dwijesh009 great to hear!
