Cloning a Repository
Cloning a repository is the first step in linking your GitHub Desktop to a cloned repository. To do this, click on the "Code" button on your repository's home page.
You'll then see a box pop up with an option to "Open with GitHub Desktop." Clicking this button will automatically open GitHub Desktop on your computer.
GitHub Desktop will ask you to confirm the path of the repository you're cloning to your computer. In most cases, the suggested path is fine to use, so you can just click on the blue "Clone" button.
Make sure the default location isn't a cloud-synced folder like Dropbox or OneDrive, as this can cause issues with your repository.
Once you click the "Clone" button, GitHub Desktop will create a new folder matching your repository name and download the repository from GitHub.
The top bar of GitHub Desktop will now show three buttons. On the left, the "Current repository" button lists the repository you just cloned.
You can also check your current branch, which should be set to "main" by default.
The rightmost button allows you to "Fetch origin", "Pull origin", or "Push origin", which syncs your local repository with the version on GitHub using Git.
