-=== Getting a working copy ===
-To start working with git, you need a copy of the sources. Follow the sections for [#cloneports getting the ports tree] or [#clone MacPorts base], depending on where you want to make changes, then continue with the next section.
+== Common `git` tasks == #tasks
+
+
+=== Cloning a repository === #cloning
+
+Obtaining a local copy of a Git repository is called "cloning" because you usually end up with a carbon copy of the source repository. GitHub allows cloning over [https://help.github.com/articles/which-remote-url-should-i-use HTTPS or SSH]:
+{{{
+$ git clone https://github.com/macports/macports-ports.git
+}}}
+{{{
+$ git clone git at github.com:macports/macports-ports.git
+}}}
+Both of these create a `macports-ports` directory containing a working tree at the latest commit, with the repository itself—with full history—at `macports-ports/.git`.
+
+(A list of our repositories is available at [[FAQ/GitHubMigration#repositories]].)
