Use this interactive demo to learn how to clone a GitHub repository in four simple steps.

Quick summary

Cloning a GitHub repository lets you download a full copy of any project to your local machine using HTTPS, SSH, or GitHub CLI. This guide walks you through finding the Code button, copying the repo URL, and initiating the clone in under a minute.


Steps

  1. Go to the GitHub repository you want to clone.
  2. Click on the green Code button and copy the URL.
  3. Choose either HTTPS, SSH, or GitHub CLI as your clone method.
  4. Click the copy icon to capture the URL and start cloning from GitHub.

📌 Why this matters

Cloning a GitHub repository is one of the most fundamental skills in modern software development, enabling developers to download and work on any codebase locally. GitHub supports three cloning methods — HTTPS, SSH, and GitHub CLI — giving teams the flexibility to match their security and workflow requirements. Mastering the clone workflow reduces onboarding friction, accelerates collaboration, and ensures every contributor starts with an identical, version-controlled copy of the project. Whether you are contributing to open-source or managing private repositories, knowing how to clone efficiently is essential for any developer using GitHub.
