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:
- 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".
:name: gitlab-clone
The cloning menu.
- Open a new VS Code window. You should be greeted with a welcome page ({numref}
vscode-welcome). On this page, click "Clone Git Repository". Alternatively, open the Source Control menu from the left side bar, and click on "Clone Repository".
:name: vscode-welcome
The VS Code welcome screen.
-
On the top of your screen, you should get a prompt asking you for a URL. In this field, paste the link you copied from GitLab and press enter. It will ask you to choose the location of the repository. After you've chosen a location, a final prompt will show up asking if you want to open the repository. Click on "Open".
-
You now have a local copy of the repository. Next, {ref}
make a new branch <git-branch>for your work.
