You clone a repository with git clone URL. For example, if you want to clone the Git linkable library called SUBDIR, you can do so like this:
$ git clone URL/SUBDIR
That creates a directory named SUBDIR, initializes a .git directory inside it, pulls down all the data for that repository, and checks out a working copy of the latest version. If you go into the new SUBDIR directory that was just created, you’ll see the project files in there, ready to be worked on or used.
If you want to clone the repository into a directory named something like MYSUBDIR, you can specify the new directory name as an additional argument:
$ git clone URL/SUBDIR MYSUBDIR
That command does the same thing as the previous one, but the target directory is called MYSUBDIR.1
Note the source repo is called origin and your new local is master by default. Later on you can use git pull origin master, to get the newest version from remote origin repo.

git status
Example output:
To see all the diff in tracked files but are in unstaged state:
git diff
or
git diff path/to/a/given/file
Stage files
git add -A stages all changes
git add . stages new files and modifications, without deletions
git add -u stages modifications and deletions, without new files
Detail:
git add -A is equivalent to git add .; git add -u.
The important point about git add . is that it looks at the working tree and adds all those paths to the staged changes if they are either changed or are new and not ignored, it does not stage any ‘rm’ actions.
git add -u looks at all the already tracked files and stages the changes to those files if they are different or if they have been removed. It does not add any new files, it only stages changes to already tracked files.
git add -A is a handy shortcut for doing both of those.2
If you have already staged the changes with git add, you can see what patch you have staged with3
git diff --staged
