How do I pull my project from github

Question

I have a project on github that I have been working on before   However  I wiped out my computer and I am wondering which git command should I invoke under my username to checkout my project again so that I can push my latest changes to github under my account

You Can do by Two ways   1  Cloning the Remote Repo to your Local host  example  git clone https   github com user-name repository git  2  Pulling the Remote Repo to your Local host  First you have to create a git local repo by   example  git init or git init repo-name then  git pull https   github com user-name repository git  That s all  All commits and branch in the remote repo now available in the local repository of your computer   Happy Coding  cheers -

Since you have wiped out your computer and want to checkout your project again  you could start by doing the below initial settings   git config --global user name  Your Name  git config --global user email youremail domain com   Login to your github account  go to the repository you want to clone  and copy the URL under  Clone with HTTPS    You can clone the remote repository by using HTTPS  even if you had setup SSH the last time   git clone https   github com username repo-name git   NOTE   If you had setup SSH for your remote repository previously  you will have to add that key to the known hosts ssh file on your PC  if you don t and try to do git clone git github com username repo-name git  you will see an error similar to the one below   Cloning into  repo-name     The authenticity of host  github com  192 30 255 112   can t be established  RSA key fingerprint is SHA256 nThbg6kXDoJWGl7E1IGOCspZomTxdCARLviMw6E5SY8  Are you sure you want to continue connecting  yes no  fingerprint    yes Warning  Permanently added  github com 192 30 255 112   RSA  to the list of known hosts  git github com  Permission denied  publickey   fatal  Could not read from remote repository   Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists    Using HTTPS is a easier than SSH in this case

First  you ll need to tell git about yourself  Get your username and token together from your settings page   Then run   git config --global github user YOUR USERNAME git config --global github token YOURTOKEN   You will need to generate a new key if you don t have a back-up of your key     Then you should be able to run   git clone git github com YOUR USERNAME YOUR PROJECT git
