How to Download an Ubuntu GitHub Repository

In this tutorial, we'll explore how to download a GitHub repository using Ubuntu. This process is useful when you want to work with a project locally or share it with others.

To begin, open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. In this example, I'm going to clone the emerald project so that I can build it locally.

First, use the `git clone` command to download the repository. The format for this command is `git clone `. For instance, if the URL is `git:///fusion/decorators/emerald`, you would enter `git clone git:///fusion/decorators/emerald`.

After running the command, Git will start downloading the repository. You'll see a progress bar indicating how much of the download has been completed.

Once the download is complete, you can navigate to the local directory where the repository was cloned. You can use the `cd` command followed by the name of the directory (in this case, emerald).

Finally, you can list the files in the directory using the `ls` command.

Here's an example output:

```

-rwxr-xr-x 1 vivek vivek 261 Jul 18 23:29 autogen.sh

Resolving deltas: 100% (1622/1622), done.

```

In this output, you can see the `autogen.sh` file along with some information about the repository.

By following these steps, you can easily download a GitHub repository using Ubuntu and work with it locally.
