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.

Answer 1

Git clone is the command you're looking for:

git clone [email protected]:username/repo.git

Update: And this is the official guide: http://github.com/guides/getting-a-copy-of-your-github-repo

Take a look at: http://github.com/guides/home

It has really useful content

Answer 2

First, you'll need to tell git about yourself. Get your username and token together from the account page.

Then run:

git config --global github.user YOUR_USERNAME
git config --global github.token YOURTOKEN

You 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 [email protected]:YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_PROJECT.git
