How to "clone" a public repository

The Nightingale platform does not have direct access to the internet. Therefore the typical workflow of cloning a remote repository with git clone <remote repo> will not work. You will need to manually download the repository to your local computer, and then upload it. 

First, download the ZIP file of the repository.

 Then upload the ZIP file to the Nightingale platform. 

You will then need to open a terminal tab and unzip the file.

Lastly, if you want to use GIT on this repository to track changes that you make, you will need to reinitialize it. 

If you want other members of your project team to have access to the repository, you can move it into the ~/project directory.
