## Start working on your project
|
||
|
||
In Git, when you copy a project you say you "clone" it. To work on a git project locally (from your own computer), you will need to clone it. To do this, sign in to GitLab.
|
||
|
||
When you are on your Dashboard, click on the project that you'd like to clone.
|
||
To work in the project, you can copy a link to the Git repository through a SSH
|
||
or a HTTPS protocol. SSH is easier to use after it's been
|
||
[setup](create-your-ssh-keys.md). While you are at the **Project** tab, select
|
||
HTTPS or SSH from the dropdown menu and copy the link using the 'Copy to clipboard'
|
||
button (you'll have to paste it on your shell in the next step).
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## On the command line
