Clone the repository

Pre-requisites

You need to access to a Git repository and the url of the repository to clone.

The release manager of the project can provide it.

It looks like the following: https://github.com/trailheadapps/dreamhouse-lwc.git

Clone the repository

If you don't have a folder for your git repositories, create a C:\git folder and use it as destination for your git clones !

From the Git server UI

Git providers UIs sometimes have a button Clone -> Open In VsCode

If you can use it, use it :)

Gitlab

If later you are prompted for username and password, you might need to create a Personal Access Token (video tuto here) and use it as password.

If later, it prompts several times the same password in VsCode, run the following command line

git config --global credential.helper store

Azure

From Visual Studio Code
