How to fetch the website code in my local machine?

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 701 / 3 Years ago, thu, august 19, 2021, 2:31:27

I have a local GIT repository in my system by name 'git_repo' under which I had the whole codebase for a website (pre-configured by someone else), including all the jsps, js, css etc.

I used the following commands to create the local git repository out of the main repository:

git branch //to show the current branch

git checkout -b branch_local_name origin/Main_branch_name //to create local repository in current branch

git fetch //to fetch the current build

Accidentally, I deleted all the contents of the local folder and I don't know what to do fetch the contents of that website again.

Could you simply use clone?

 git clone <remote-repo> <local-dir-that-is-empty>

After doing this, you can do branching and stuff.

Running these commands in succession should do it:

cd ~

mkdir new_repo

cd new_repo

git clone <path-to-repo> .
