How to configure "git" - Linux ?

Anonymous_Banned275

This is one of those I though I had it figured out, but I don't.
I want to download qtconnectivity from github - as a project .
Now all tutorials are about Windows, using local repository etc.,

This is where I ended up in Linux.

If I click , OK I get back to "configure" .

I have github account and access to the "remote repository" , should I have local repository too?

What did I missed ?

PS
Sorry about the screen shoot clutter, looks as my new OS won't do partial screenshot or "save to clipboard" hence I do not know the area of the screen captured until I post it.

@jsulm Because old man did not install "git" AFTER installing new OS and QtCreator !!!!

Funny part - WHY IDE cannot intelligently point out to the user that "git" is missing ?
I guess I am too naive to expect that.
So in closing , mea culpa .

Hi,

This is the configuration panel for the tool not to clone a repository.

You have here a small tutorial using Qt Creator "Import Project" feature.

The cloning can also be done directly on the terminal.

After

"New project ...QtCreator "
Here is what I get :

https://github.com/qt/qtconnectivity.git

@AnneRanch Why did you set URL to a Git repository as "Prepend to PATH"?
What "Prepend to PATH" does is explained here: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-vcs-git.html
