Create or copy repositories (init, clone)

How to initialize a new repository

Create a new directory for your code, and then initialize it as a Git repo:

mkdir my-repo
cd my-repo
git init

Or you can create the directory and initialize it as a Git repository in one command:

git init my-repo

How to clone an existing repository

git clone <URL>

You can get the repository URL from the GitHub or Bitbucket interface. For example:

git clone git@bitbucket.org/nsidc:git-training.git
