How to download remote repository to local on Github desktop?

One of my friend gave me a git link like this :

[email protected]:/home/git/project.git

along with username and password.

username: git
password: 123456!@#$%^

I'm trying to a get latest (similar to Download zip on github public repo), I have a Github desktop (for Windows) installed but have no idea how to achieve this. I search and read the documentation online but it's confusing and I'm getting mixed answer.

Any help will be appreciated.
Apologize for bad english.

Solution

  • In your case it would be easier to clone the repo using git bash:
    git clone [email protected]:/home/git/project.git

    PS you can run git bash from GitHub for Windows.
