Using git

The ➦ Pro Git Ebook provides an easy to digest introduction into git.

GitLab provides two methods on how to clone the existing project myProject:

• Clone with HTTPS: git clone https://gitlab.spang-lab.de/<myProject>.git
• Clone with SSH: git clone ssh://git@gitlab.spang-lab.de:222/<myProject>.git

By using SSH keys for authentication, you don't have to enter your username and password when cloning a project. This holds also true for git push actions.
