I cloned a git repository. How do I pull from it into a working directory?

Question

So I cloned an existing (and working) Git repository, for the purpose of experimenting with the clone (instead of pushing stuff into the live production repo).

It went without incident but now I would like to create a Working Directory to which I can pull from (and from which I can push to) the new "remote" repository I just created (cloned).

How do I do that?

I tried pulling to an empty directory with the help of Git Extensions , but all I get in the context menu are operations that do not seem like what I need:

Obviously, I am missing a key Git concept here. What am I missing?

Answer 1

You have selected the --bare option ("Public repository, no working dir"). This option does not create a working directory. Instead, choose the "Personal repository" option, which creates a working directory.

Answer 2

在克隆时，您应该选择存储库类型的“个人存储库”选项来创建工作目录。
