+# Cloning a repository
+
+Before we can start working on our Jupyter Book, we of course need to have the repository on our own system. This is done by *cloning* the repository, and here's how you do it with VS Code:
+
+1. On GitLab, go to the repository of your book. Click on the blue button that says "Clone" ({numref}`gitlab-clone`), and copy the link under "Clone with SSH".
+
+```{figure} ../images/gitlab-clone.png
+:name: gitlab-clone
+
+The cloning menu.
+```
+
+2. Open a new VS Code window. You should be greeted with a welcome page (see {numref})
