SSH is the only network protocol, which can be easily read from and write to. SSH has many other advantages such as easy configuration, secure access , and data compactness before its transfer. The disadvantage of SSH is that it doesn’t support anonymous access to the Git repository.
Here it’s important to note that git clone is dependant on the git init and creates a copy of a repository that already exists. In other words, for generating a git clone, we need a repository created with git init. Only after that, we run a git clone to copy the data that is included in our repository mentioned above.
If you’re using a URL to clone over HTTPS with GitKraken Client, you simply provide the remote URL when prompted to do so. Using HTTPS allows you to authenticate with the repository using username and password credentials.
You can push your changes to the remote repository on GitHub.com, or pull other people’s changes from GitHub.com. So when you clone master onto your machine, remotes/origin/master is the original master branch on the internet, and master is on your local machine. So you will pull/push from and to the remotes/origin/master. The name of the folder on your local machine where the repository will be downloaded into.
After cloning, you can change directories into the repository to begin working in it. There aremany additional flagsthat can be used while cloning for things like naming the local directory, naming the remote, or checking out a branch. To useGit SSHin the command line, you will need to generate a public and private SSH key, add the key to your SSH-agent, and add the public key to the remote hosting service.
You can then clone this repository to your local machine and have all the files and branches locally (I’ll explain more about branches soon). The behavior of the –bare argument is inherited by the –mirror, which means that passing the –mirror argument will also pass the –bare. The –mirror argument will clone all the extended refs of the remote repo.
The master branch holds the file pages/api/hello.js while passwordless-auth holds the file pages/api/auth.js. See master’s hello API response here (with a special message for you ?). If your project contains submodules, using this parameter will make sure that all submodules will both be cloned and initialized once the main project has been cloned.
This gives us access to all branches in this repository and you can easily toggle between each to see each version and its files. So when you clone a repository, you clone the master and all other branches. This means you will have to checkout another branch yourself. Since Linus Torvalds created Git in 2005 for Linux kernel development, it has become the most widely used modern version control system in the world. Unlike older centralized version control systems such as SVN and CVS, Git is distributed. Every developer has the full history and control of their code locally or remotely.
