How to get your github repository to windows desktop app ?

I have created a git repository using web browser and I was wondering how do I sync with local directory. This small tip will help you get your github repository downloaded to your local machine.

I will go through two steps, if you have already created repository on github, just go directly to second step.

CREATING GITHUB REPOSITORY

This is so simple. 

Visit your user area on github something like https://github.com/mannemvamsi

Go to the tab repositories and then click on "New " button which will create you repository you like.

PULLING THAT REPOSITORY TO YOUR LOCAL DESKTOP APP

Click on the "+" symbol on the top left of your desktop github app.

It gives you three options. 

1. ADD
2. CREATE
3. CLONE

You need check the option clone just like the picture shown here below




The list will refresh with the ones available on the github browser page.

Now, you can simply check on the repository you have created and say clone. This will fetch the github repository.
