GIT CLONE

Git clone is a Git command line utility which is used to target an existing repository and create a clone, or copy of the target repository. In other words, the existing repository is located on a remote server often from a github, bitbucker... The remote url is referred to as origin

Git clone is primarily used to point to an existing repo and make a clone or copy of that repo at in a new directory, at another location. The original repository can be located on the local filesystem or on remote machine accessible supported protocols. The git clone command copies an existing Git repository. Cloning automatically creates a remote connection called "origin" pointing back to the original repository. This makes it very easy to interact with a central repository. 

If you are trying to clone a specific branch without cloning the whole repository, there a way to do that.

The -branch argument lets you specify a specific branch to clone instead of the branch the remote HEAD is pointing to, usually the main branch. In addition you can pass a tag instead of branch for the same effect.
