clone

In the world of software development, version control systems are fundamental tools that help manage changes to source code over time. Git, created by Linus Torvalds in 2005, stands out as one of the most popular and powerful version control systems used today. It excels in handling everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Cloning a repository is one of the most common operations in Git. It involves creating a local copy of a code base that exists on a server (like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket). This local copy includes all the files, history, and branches that are part of the repository.
