# GitGetProject

## Description

Clones an existing Git repository to a local folder. Enter the remote URL shared with you and select a destination folder. Once cloned, you can open existing databases from the repository or add new ones.

Enable **Git LFS** if your databases exceed your Git provider's file size limit. Requires `git-lfs` to be installed.

If the repository requires authentication, IDA will prompt for your credentials.
