Copy a remote repository

For this step in our tutorial, imagine you’re another team member and want to clone the remote repository we created and pushed to in the previous steps onto another directory so that you can work on it on your local machine. We’ll call this directory tutorial2.

Use the git clone command to copy a remote repository to the tutorial2 directory.

$ git clone https://example.backlog.com/git/BLGGIT/tutorial.git tutorial2
