Git Clone Repositories

 Question : DevOps team created a new Git repository last week; however, as of now no team is using it. The Nautilus application development team recently asked for a copy of that repo on Storage server in Stratos DC. Please clone the repo as per details shared below:

The repo that needs to be cloned is /opt/ecommerce.git

Clone this git repository under /usr/src/kodekloudrepos directory. Please do not try to make any changes in repo.

Please Note :-  Perform the below commands based on your question server,  user name & other details that might differ. So please read the task carefully before executing it. All the Best 👍

Solution:  

1. At first login on to the storage server &  Switch to the root user 

thor@jump_host ~$ ssh natasha@ststor01 The authenticity of host 'ststor01 (172.16.238.15)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:C2nBjLQ9cCcEdGxi9ZCMDGxxhXhVsIKmSuMkYcEA5OM. ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:81:b8:36:05:28:fd:ba:a0:1b:6b:bb:e1:88:56:63:9b. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'ststor01,172.16.238.15' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. natasha@ststor01's password: [natasha@ststor01 ~]$ sudo su - We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:     #1) Respect the privacy of others.     #2) Think before you type.     #3) With great power comes great responsibility. [sudo] password for natasha: [root@ststor01 ~]#

2. clone git repository under directory mentioned in your task
