Getting started with git

Checking out a repository from the web

First, create an empty git repository in the directory you want to use: 

git init

Then, say you want to import the repository from git://example.com/repository.git. In the same directory, use: 

git pull git://example.com/repository.git

Now you should have a local copy of the repository on your system.
