Which of the following best describes cloning a repository?

Cloning a repository in GitHub refers tocreating a copy of the repository on your local machine. This allows you to work on the project offline, make changes, and later push those changes back to the remote repository. It does not involve creating a copy on GitHub.com (which would be forking), retrieving updates (which would be pulling), or importing source code into a new repository (which is done differently).
