Let's talk about how to download code from Gitee to local

In today's software development, we usually need to download the code from the code warehouse to the local, modify and package it. For the open source community, Git is one of the most popular and commonly used code management tools. Gitee (formerly GitCafe) is a Git hosting platform in China. Similar to GitHub, it also provides us with a platform to save, manage, and share code. In this article, I will introduce you how to download code from Gitee to local.

Step one: Register a Gitee account and log in

First, we need to register an account on the Gitee official website. If you already have a Gitee account, you can skip this step directly.

After registration is completed, log in to your account. After successful login, you will enter your Gitee homepage.

Step 2: Search the code repository

Enter the name of the code repository you want to download in the search bar on the Gitee homepage. If you are not sure about the code repository name, you can also use the code links shared by other users on Gitee.

When you find the relevant code repository, click to enter the code repository homepage. You will see all the files and folders of the code repository, as well as the version history of its code.

Step 3: Download the code locally

On the code warehouse homepage, you will see a button named "Clone or download", and a drop-down menu will appear after clicking it. In that drop-down menu, you'll see three download methods: HTTPS, SSH, and SVN.

If you choose to use HTTPS, you need to enter your Gitee account username and password. When choosing SSH, you will need to add your SSH public key to your Gitee account description file. If you don't know how to generate an SSH public key, please refer to the relevant documentation.

Once you select a download method and complete authentication, you will be given a command line or GUI download address. Copy this address and run this command locally using Git or other version control tools, and you can clone the code repository to a local folder.

Summary

With the above three simple steps, you should now have successfully downloaded and saved the code from the Gitee code repository locally. The Gitee code hosting platform enables developers to manage code more conveniently, while also facilitating the sharing and collaboration of the open source code community. I hope this article can be helpful to you and make you more proficient in using Gitee.
