How to download latest version of repository bitbucket - shoulders
Git Commands
The "clone" command downloads an existing Git repository to your local computer.
You will then have a full-blown, local version of that Git repo and can start working on the project.
Typically, the "original" repository is located on a remote server, often from a service like GitHub, Bitbucket, or GitLab). That remote repository's URL is then later referred to as the "origin".
Important Options
Specifies the URL of the remote repository. Usually, this will point to a remote server, using a protocol like HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, or GIT.
The name of the folder on your local machine where the repository will be downloaded into. If this option is not specified, Git will simply create a new folder named after the remote repository.
Clones and initializes all contained submodules. If your project contains submodules, using this parameter will make sure that all submodules will both be cloned and initialized once the main project has been cloned. This saves you from having to manually initialize and update the submodules later.
