Git Clone in Git & GitHub
`git clone` downloads a complete copy of a repository from GitHub (or any remote server) to your computer. It includes all files, branches, and commit history. It's like downloading a project, but with full version control.
Cloning is how you first get a project. After cloning, you have a complete local copy and can make changes, commit, and eventually push back to GitHub.
