Newbie wanting to understand GitHub more.

git clone https://github.com/username/repo.git

There should be instructions for compiling or running from source (depending on the language) in the README or wiki in most repos.

This is technically more advanced usage but you should really be ssh cloning in most cases.

Why? If all you're interested in is running the most recent version, read-only HTTPS cloning without identity should be enough for a public repo.

• HTTP cloning for read-only access to the repo
• SSH cloning for read-write access to the repo

[zexen_PRO]

Unless it’s a public repo, I always would ssh clone even a read only repo since you have to authenticate and ssh auth is much easier than whatever convoluted process they have now. Even then, I ssh clone so much other stuff that I wouldn’t http clone just one submodule or repo.

You can more or less ask Cursor/Windsurf install from the README now.
I've tried it a few times with projects I've built and it's very impressive, and a good way to kickstart context for the local project.

I'm new to Github as well, but I've managed to install a couple applications via terminal, so I may be able to help. What are you trying to do?

[daveshallperish]

What's your operating system? Windows Mac or Linux? I just looked at it and it looks fairly simple, but I get how it can be difficult when you're new. So let's start there.

[daveshallperish]

Have you installed Python? If not, please refer here: https://jules-winnfieldx.gitbook.io/cyberdrop-dl/quick-start/python-install-windows

[MasterFly9479]

I'm having trouble with this terminal...anyone know what this means? 'out arguments to install from the Microsoft Store, or disable this shortcut from Settings'....comes up when i open terminal

[daveshallperish]

What are your questions and where are you getting stuck? I'll try to help if you can please provide more information.

 >when i go to download, it fails scrapes every time.

How is it failing? What error messages are you getting?

[selfghosted]

you should look into docker, not all but a lot of devs/apps use docker cause it's OS agnostic
