try using,

git clone {repo-URL}

In this way the cloned directory will be a git repository with all the git history and branches...

  • you need to login in to your git bash with your credentials, otherwise, you may `git init` that directory to add its origin via `git remote add origin {repo URL}` but still you have to be signed in for that... without signing in you may not get the history as of what I know... I suggest to have a look on htis one for your login https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8840551/configuring-user-and-password-with-git-bash – MUsmanTahir Nov 19 '22 at 10:10

You may either use git bash,

git clone {repo-url}

if the GitHub account is not configured,

git config --global user.name {your-GitHub-username}
git config --global user.email {your-email}

In case you donot want to use git bash or terminal for that, try using GitHub Desktop Download so everything will be in GUI and much more easy than bash.
