Install homebrew if you don't already have it, then: $ brew install git. Apple ships a binary package of Git with Xcode.

Create a complete local copy of an existing Git repository by cloning it.Cloning a repo downloads all commits and branches in the repo.Cloning sets up a named relationship with the existing repo you cloned.Use this relationship to interact with the existing repo, pushing and pulling changes to share code with your team.

Get the clone URL to your repo

Before you can clone an existing repo, you'll need a URL that points to the existing repo.This URL represents the source of the repo you're going to copy.

If you're using Azure Repos, Azure DevOps Server 2019, or Team Foundation Server, you can find this clone URL in the web portal.

From your web browser, open the team project for your Azure DevOps organization and choose Repos, then Files.
Select Clone in the upper right.

If you need to clone a GitHub repo, you'll need to get the clone URL. Use the Clone or download button while viewing the repo on the web in GitHub.

Other Git providers have similar buttons in their user interface to get the clone URL.

Copy this URL into the clipboard or store it in a place where you can find it easily. You can't clone a repo without a clone URL.

Clone a repo

Clone from Azure Repos / Azure DevOps Server

In Team Explorer, open the Connect page by selecting the Connect button. Choose Manage Connections then Connect to Project.
In Connect to a Project, select the repo you want to clone from the list and select Clone.
If you don't see your repo listed, filter the list to find it.You may need to add an Azure DevOps Server where the repo is hosted.Select the Add Azure DevOps Server link.
Note
Project URLs have changed with the release of Azure DevOps Services and now have the format dev.azure.com/{your organization}/{your project}, but you can still use the existing visualstudio.com format. For more information, see VSTS is now Azure DevOps Services.
Verify the location of the cloned repo on your PC and select Clone.

Clone from another Git provider

In Team Explorer, open the Connect view, as explained above.
Select Clone under Local Git Repositories and enter the URL for your Git repo. Your team or Git hosting provider gives you this URL.
Select a folder where you want your cloned repo.
Select Clone to clone the repo.

Open a solution in Visual Studio from a cloned repo

Right-click on a repository in the Team Explorer Connect view and select Open.

In the Home view in Team Explorer, double-click your project solution file in the Solutions area. The solution opens in Solution Explorer.

Prerequisites

Ensure you've installed the Git command line package for your platform. Be sure you have the right Git Credential Manager or have configured SSH authentication before you continue.

You'll need a clone URL to tell Git what repository you want to clone to your computer. Use the URL you copied earlier during the previous step in this article.
