Clone a remote repository!

The nice thing about a GitHub repository is that you can link multiple local repositories to it (very useful to sync between multiple devices/developers). Let's simulate this by linking another local repository to the remote one on GitHub. For this, we are going to clone the GitHub repository into a new directory.

Create a new folder where you want to store the clone of ClassSearch App. Open the terminal (outside of IntelliJ) and change directory to the folder you've just created. Then, run the following command:

git clone <repository>

where <repository> is the URL of your GitHub repository. For me, the URL is https://github.com/cs421sp21/class-search-app.

Once the cloning process is done you can open the (copy of) ClassSearch App in IntelliJ. If you make any changes, you can commit and push those changes to the remote repository on GitHub.
