Using your terminal, navigate inside the directory you want to download the project files into. Make sure that the directory is empty before proceeding to the download process. Once there, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/dotkernel/admin.git .

If everything ran correctly, you can expect to see an output like this, though the numbers may differ.
