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.
