Cloning a remote git repository
If you intend to access someone else's project, either to contribute new code or just to use the project, you'll need to clone the code to your system.
You need to be online to clone a repository. Once you've copied the files to your system, you can commit new code, backtrack to older revisions, and so on. You can't send any new code changes upstream to the site you cloned from until you are online again.
