Need documentation for how to clone a git repo to the disk

[madhephaestus]

I can not find the API equivalent of 'git clone .git' to pull the full contents of a repository to the local disk. I would also like to read from the dist a repository for local caching of files. Is this possible with github-api?

Github is only library to API, if you learn github api pages you will see that it provides only url to git repository. For git you can use jgit.

As Kostya says, GHRepository.gitHttpTransportUrl() is where this library ends.

In case someone is looking for how to do this, you can use JGIT and github-api together like this:
