Now that you are ready to clone your Space repository, you can choose from these two options:

  • Clone the repository manually using your local terminal. See the instructions.

  • If you are using IntelliJ IDEA based IDE, you can have the repository cloned automatically. Furthermore, by linking your repository with your IDE you'll be able to navigate from Space to IDE and complete many tasks, such as creating merge requests or reviewing changes, right from your IDE. See the instructions.

As an alternative to cloning the repository to your local machine, you can start committing to it using Space remote development environment.
