A Github repository is basically a folder designed to store files. It is also available online for anyone to download, access, and contribute to the files/code within the folder.

Jack Wallen shows you how easy it is to clone a repository from GitHub.

For example, you can clone a GitHub repository on your local machine and copy existing project files there, or invoke git init and git remote add commands to update remote references.

Then continue to update files, add them to the staging index and perform subsequent commits. If a developer wants to share their code with others, they can add a remote repository on GitHub or GitLab ...

If you need a quick code repository, you have everything you need with git and SSH. Jack Wallen shows you how it's done.
