Cloning a git repository is basically downloading a code base to your own machine, so you can use, edit... this code base.

For doing it is as easy as creating a folder where you want to store this code, and then from the terminal execute from this folder:

git clone git://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk.git .
