Cloning an Existing Git Repository

After installing the freshcopy of ubuntu 11.04, I need to clone my already existing
github repository to my local drive to start gitting. Following are the steps, I had done to Clone the Existing git repository and start Gitting.

1 . Generate SSH keys for the repository. I tried to use already existing key in the github repo but I end up with an error. So created a new keygen by


ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~$ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "XXXX@gmail.com"

2. Copy the Newly generated SSH key.


ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~$ cd .ssh
ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~/.ssh$ gedit id_rsa.pub
copy the entire key.

3. Now Login to your Github account and Goto the Repository's administration and goto 'Deploy keys',  click Edit and paste the new key.

4.  Now Goto following repository's page and copy the url as highlighted below:
Github url 
 
5. Clone the repo to your Local drive:

ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~$ git clone git@github.com:XXXX/codehacks.git
 Cloning into codehacks...

 Receiving objects: 100% (304/304), 3.83 MiB | 16 KiB/s, done.

Surround with try-catch When you use Ctrl+Alt+T (Linux) / Cmd+Alt+T (Mac) shortcut, the built-in try-catch generator auto generates a call to the printStackTrace() method of class Exception in the catch block. After this, we manually add some code to log the exception. e.g., Log.e(TAG, “Oops! something gone wrong”, e); As a power user, you may have used some or all of the following built-in Live templates: Live Templates You can save yourself the pain of these 5-keystrokes or repetitive typing or copy pasting the code by becoming a Ninja who uses a custom built-in try-catch template.
