Cloning a repository SourceCraft

You can create a local copy of a SourceCraft repository on your computer or on a virtual machine:

1. Install Git.

2. Open the SourceCraft home page.

3. On the Home tab, under Your craftspace, navigate to Repositories and select your repository.

   Alternatively, you can open any public repository.

4. In the top-right corner of the repository page, click Clone.

5. Copy the link for cloning the repository from the HTTPS or SSH field.

   Depending on the cloning connection protocol, different domains are used:

   Protocol	Domain	Cloning link
   HTTPS	git.sourcecraft.dev	https://git@git.sourcecraft.dev/<organization_slug>/<repository_slug>.git
   SSH	ssh.sourcecraft.dev	ssh://ssh.sourcecraft.dev/<organization_slug>/<repository_slug>.git

6. In the terminal, run this command:

   git clone <link_for_cloning_repository>
   

   Warning

   Before confirming your first SSH connection, verify the server’s key fingerprint. This helps you detect server spoofing. If the fingerprints mismatch, cancel the connection and contact support.

   Example of a command for cloning a repository with SourceCraft documentation

   git clone https://git@git.sourcecraft.dev/sourcecraft/documentation.git
   

   Warning

   To clone a private or internal repository, authenticate with a personal access token (PAT) or SSH key.

7. Go to your cloned repository:

   cd <repository_name>
