How do I fetch my git repository from SourceForge?

Question

My git repository is currently on Sourceforge, I've just reinstalled Ubuntu and I want to continue working on my repository, but I can't figure how to do it, could someone give me some really easy instructions? (I'm very new to git)

Answer 1

$ sudo apt-get install git # do this once, to install git
$ git clone git://PROJECT.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/PROJECT/PROJECT

You'll have to substitute your project name obviously, and maybe one of the tokens will be slightly different for you, depending on what your project is. Probably you can find the exact URL to clone on your project page itself.
