When you clone a repository, you copy the repository from your GitHub Enterprise Server instance to your local machine.

Cloning a repository pulls down a full copy of all the repository data that your GitHub Enterprise Server instance has at that point in time, including all versions of every file and folder for the project. You can push your changes to the remote repository on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, or pull other people's changes from your GitHub Enterprise Server instance. For more information, see Using Git.

You can clone your existing repository or clone another person's existing repository to contribute to a project.
