Can I connect git if I downloaded the code as zip

Question

I downloaded the latest code of a repositiry as zip but now I want to be able to work with branches too.

Is there anyway I can use the folder as a git repository just l

Answer 1

You have to first initialize the folder as a GIT repo and then add the remote. For example:

cd folder
git init .
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git

And then resync with git pull.
