Clone the project

If you are using Windows as OS on your machine, you can use WSL2 as development environment. Read more here: PHP-Mariadb-on-WLS2

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.
    • You will get this error if the directory is not empty fatal: destination path '.' already exists and is not an empty directory. and no files will be cloned.
  • That you have writing permissions on the directory.

Once there, run the following command:

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

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