How to Get the URL of a GitHub Repository

To get the URL of a GitHub repository, follow these simple steps:

  1. Navigate to the main page of the repository on GitHub.
  2. Look for the “Code” button, usually located near the top right corner of the repository's page.
  3. Click this button to reveal the repository's URL. You will see options to clone the repository using HTTPS, SSH, and GitHub CLI. Select HTTPS if you are unsure which one to use.
  4. Copy the URL directly from the text box or click on the clipboard icon next to the URL to copy it to your clipboard automatically.

This URL can now be used to clone the repository to your local machine, open it in GitHub Desktop, or share it with others.
