Cloning a project from GitHub is often the first step for developers looking to contribute to open-source projects or work collaboratively with their team. While there are various ways to clone a GitHub repository, using Visual Studio Code (VSCode) adds a layer of convenience and integration. In this article, we’ll explore how to clone a project from GitHub using VSCode.

Why Use VSCode for Cloning?

Visual Studio Code has gained immense popularity among developers due to its lightweight yet powerful features, extensive extensions marketplace, and seamless integration with Git and GitHub. Here’s why using VSCode for cloning GitHub projects is advantageous:

  1. Integrated Environment: VSCode provides a unified development environment with built-in Git support, eliminating the need to switch between multiple tools.
  2. Visual Git Interface: VSCode offers a visual interface for Git operations, making it easier to manage repositories, branches, and commits.
  3. Seamless GitHub Integration: With VSCode’s GitHub integration, developers can browse, clone, and manage GitHub repositories without leaving the editor.

Step to Clone Project form GitHub using VSCode

Step 1. Find any Git repository which you want to clone.

For example https://github.com/Mitesh2020/CSS-TEXT-ANIMATION

Step 2. Click on the “<> Code ” button and copy the URL under HTTPS.

Code->HTTPS->Copy URL

Step 3. Open VsCode and press “ Ctrl+` ” on your keyboard to open the terminal.

Step 4. Type “git clone ” then press ” Spacebar ” and paste the URL  which you have copied in the earlier step into the terminal.
