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 the state 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.
