Question

What is the difference between ,

1. Select Git Clone ?

2. Select Git Create repository here .. and then Pull from repository ?

As shown like image.

EDIT :

Actually we are going to use Review Board as our code review tool.That tool requires to create GIT Clone (1) method for create GIT.But currently we are using 2 option as for our developments.So because of that there must be fundamentally (behind the seen) differences of those 2 methods.What is that ?

Answer 1

Git Clone just clones an existing repo (that other people already work) from a specified URL. On the other hand to create a new repo means start a new repo from the beginning.

Answer 2

Speaking in Windows context:

1. Is copy an Folder with content
2. Is create a Folter and later copy the content

Answer 3

Hardly any difference at all: the files in the repository will be the same and the history will be the same. It's possible that the repository configuration will wind up slightly different -- I think that clone sets some default branch mappings, while just pulling might not establish those links by default.
