Re: Problem with downloading source with gcloud source repos clone

[George (Cloud Platform Support)]

Hi again Kathleen, 

Google Cloud Source Repositories should cover your needs, as described in your short posting. Cloud Repositories are fully-featured, private Git repositories hosted on Google Cloud Platform. 

These are the easy steps required to create your repository, and to download your source: after having selected or created a GCP project, you install Git, and then install and initialize the Cloud SDK. The actual command to create a repository is then: "gcloud source repos create hello-csr", where "hello-csr" is the name of your new repository. You can read more on this subject from the "Quickstart for Linux" documentation page. The same page indicates how to handle your source code with the help of a cloud repository: clone a repository and then push to the cloud source repository, as described on the same page.

Hi again Kathleen, 

As previously mentioned, Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. The installation procedure is detailed on their site. There are different ways to install git, depending on the operating system, as shown on their installation page.
