Alternatively, you can easily clone a file or repository using a few simple commands on GitHub. A fork is simply your own copy of a repository. Forking a repository comes with a number of benefits. You will then have a full-blown, local version of that Git repo and can start working on the project. Typically, the "original" repository is located on a remote server, often from a service like GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab.
That remote repository's URL is then later referred to as the "origin". Specifies the URL of the remote repository. The name of the folder on your local machine where the repository will be downloaded into. If this option is not specified, Git will simply create a new folder named after the remote repository. Clones and initializes all contained submodules. If your project contains submodules, using this parameter will make sure that all submodules will both be cloned and initialized once the main project has been cloned.
You can download an individual file from a GitHub repository from the web interface, by using a URL, or from the command line. You can only retrieve public files by URL or from the command line.
This is because private files are protected by an access token that you can only retrieve by viewing a file from the web interface.
