Clone the GitHub repository:

i have installed XCode and Git. What does it mean to Clone the GitHub repository:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git
and how can i do that.
To clone a repository means that you will download the whole code of the repository.
Obviously, your are on a Mac, so launch your Terminal, create a folder and type
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git
you will download the code.
Cloning a git repository means that you create a local copy of the code provided by developer. You can simply do it with a command line:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git .
and you'll have the code in the facebook-ios-sdk directory.
Cloning a git repository is basically downloading a code base to your own machine, so you can use, edit... this code base.
For doing it is as easy as creating a folder where you want to store this code, and then from the terminal execute from this folder:
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git .
Cloning a repository means that you're downloading a copy of the source code from source control. To use the iOS SDK you have to download the code from GitHub (ie- clone the iOS SDK repository).
Type
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git [path to where you want to save sdk]
from a shell / command prompt.
Cloning basically means you want to get a local copy of the code present in the repository. After cloning you can then do whatever changes you like in the code and then you can pull the changes back to the repository
clone the repo
Cloning = means copying
Repo = is short form of Repository which is the complete files of the project
Create a folder, Open terminal and take the path into that folder where you want to save the repo, and then run this command
git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git
This command will download all the files to that folder
Welcome in Advance
