Clone with GitHub Desktop ​

"Cloning" downloads a copy of a repository from GitHub onto your computer. These steps work for any of our repositories.

  1. Open GitHub Desktop.
  2. Get to the clone dialog:
    1. If you haven't used GitHub Desktop before, you'll get an intro screen - select "Clone repository from internet".
    2. If you already have repositories cloned, choose "Clone repository..." from the "File" menu.
  3. Pick the repository:
    1. If you are in our organization or are working on a fork, you can select the repository you want from the list.
    2. If you can't see the repository you want in the list, find the repository on GitHub.com, and press "Code" (the big green button). There will be an option to open the repository with GitHub Desktop.
  4. Check the Local path before you click Clone - this is where the files land on your computer. Avoid anything inside a OneDrive folder, since OneDrive tries to sync the files the build creates and that causes trouble later.
  5. Click Clone and wait for it to finish.
