4. Clone Repo in Local

Now that your GitHub repository is set up, it's time to bring it to your local machine by cloning it. This process ensures that you have a local copy of the repository on your computer for development and collaboration. Follow these steps to clone your PharmaSift repository:

Step 1: Open Your Terminal or Command Prompt

  • On Windows:

    • Open the Command Prompt or PowerShell.

  • On macOS or Linux:

    • Open the Terminal.

Step 2: Navigate to Your Project Directory

  • Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where you want to clone your PharmaSift project. For example:

    cd path/to/your/desired/directory
    

TIP: We advice you to create a separate folder for all Git Repos so you can always know where they belong in your machine.

Step 3: Clone the GitHub Repository

  • Run the following command to clone your GitHub repository locally: Replace your username with your GitHub username.

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/pharmasift.git
    

Step 4: Verify the Cloning Process

  • Once the cloning process is complete, navigate into the cloned directory:

    cd pharmasift
    
  • Check the status of your local repository:

    git status
    

Next Steps:

With the GitHub repository successfully cloned locally, you now have a synchronized version on your machine. In the next chapter, we'll guide you through making your initial commits and pushing changes to GitHub.
