GitLab docs: Clone a repository

1. Open a terminal and go to the directory where you want to clone the files.
2. Copy this repo Git SSH url (REPO_URL) and clone the repo

git clone REPO-URL

• Note:
  • Git automatically creates a folder with the repository name and downloads the files there.

3. Update and push to remote

# Go to the new directory:
cd project-1-git

# Create `dev` branch and checkout to it
git checkout -b dev

# Create a config file 
touch config.yaml 
echo "repo: project-1-git" >> config.yaml
cat config.yaml  

# Commit changes
git add config.yaml && git commit -m "Add config.yaml"

# Push to GitLab 
git push origin dev

4. Create a Merge Request
