HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used to transfer data over the web. You can also use HTTP to access GitHub repositories.
Step 1: Clone the Repository
- Go to the repository you want to clone on GitHub.
- Click on the Code button and copy the HTTPS URL.
- Open your terminal and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git
Replace username
with your GitHub username and repository
with the name of the repository, you want to clone.
Step 2: Authenticate with your GitHub Credentials
- When you run the
git clone
command, you will be prompted to enter your GitHub username and password.
Step 3: Pull and Push Changes
- To pull changes from the repository, run the following command:
git pull
- To push changes to the repository, run the following command:
git push
You can now access your GitHub repositories using either SSH or HTTP.
