Windows-centric clone github repository instructions

[dopplershift]

Can you elaborate on what resources exactly you find only to be applicable to OSX?

As far as I can see, the only resources that show OSX are the screencasts; however, they're interacting with the GitHub website, which should be completely platform agnostic. The other resources (from GitHub itself) are also web-only, and as far as I can tell don't actually show any os-specific stuff.

My use case is simply:

I am a Windows user, and I want to clone a repository onto my Desktop. How do I do that?

There are OS X based instructions (https://egghead.io/lessons/javascript-how-to-fork-and-clone-a-github-repository), but none for Windows as far as I see. And late adopters tend to be Windows ppl; part of our target audience.

Ah, yes, that is a problem--most of the rest of the stuff should still suffice, we just need to cover that one hole it seems.

OSX has a github desktop client too, maybe that approach can be treated in common with Windows?

• a lurker with poor memory for even the ~5 git command line commands…

Brian Mapes,

There do seem to be some videos for the GUI client, so that may be an option. I despise that thing though, so I'm not in a good position to evaluate (I'm too much of a git CLI ninja at this point).
