从远程创建本地 git 存储库

Question

I have a remote git repo hosted in gitlab. It's got a few branches off of it already.

I am trying to pull down these branches to a local repo to work on them. For the life of me I cannot figure out how.

This seems like it should be easy but I cannot find an answer. Please let me know where I can clarify.

Answer 1

one way is using

$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY

it downloads all your source code and all of your branches. then you can use

$ git checkout <existing_branch>

in order to change your current branch. you can find out more information on cloning inside here
