How to create a local copy of an existing remote repository from a server like GitHub.
The `git clone` command is used to create a local copy of an existing remote repository. This is the most common way to get started on a project that already exists on a platform like GitHub. When you clone a repository, you get a full copy of the project's data—not just the latest version of the files, but the entire history of every file and every commit. Git also automatically sets up a connection to the original remote repository, which is typically named 'origin' by default. This connection makes it easy to pull updates from the remote or push your own local changes back to it. To clone a repository, you just need its URL. For example, you would find the URL on the project's main page on GitHub. The command `git clone <URL>` will create a new directory on your machine, named after the repository, and download all the project data into it.
