=====Congratulations on cloning your first repository====== This page is displayed when you clone the very first repository into an otherwise empty folder. This usually means that you are a new user; and you may want to read this help page in full. **Cloned repo not seen?**\\ In some situations, the cloned repository is not immediately seen. In such a case, go to the parent folder of the current selected folder and collapse, and then expand that folder. Then the cloned repository would be shown. If that does not work; Go to the C:\ folder and return back to your work folder. **What is a repository?**\\ A repository is the same as a folder on your computer but with more capabilities. Just like folders, it can contain files and sub-folders (and files in those sub-folders and so on...) But it also silently preserves earlier versions of those files and sub-folders. The main repository is kept in the organization's Git Host. And everyone that has become member of that repository is expected to //clone// that repository into their local computer. **What is cloning?**\\ Think of of cloning as making an exact copy of the repository in the main Git Host, into your own computer. ALL the files, sub-folders, etc. are made available inside your computer. You can them change any of them as per your own work-requirements, and then you would need to //add, commit and push// the changes back to the Git Host. **What is add, commit and push?**\\ **What is a Git Host?**\\ A Git Host is an online service that keeps your organization's repositories. Think of it as a "central storage" Currently, Git Winch supports GitLab, GitHub and Gitea hosts.
