## Clone a repository |
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
|
Use these steps to clone from SourceTree, our client for using the repository command-line free. Cloning allows you to work on your files locally. If you don't yet have SourceTree, [download and install first](https://www.sourcetreeapp.com/). If you prefer to clone from the command line, see [Clone a repository](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/4whODQ). |

|
|
|

|
1. You’ll see the clone button under the **Source** heading. Click that button. |
|
41 |
|
2. Now click **Check out in SourceTree**. You may need to create a SourceTree account or log in. |
|
42 |
|
3. When you see the **Clone New** dialog in SourceTree, update the destination path and name if you’d like to and then click **Clone**. |
|
43 |
|
4. Open the directory you just created to see your repository’s files. |
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
|
Now that you're more familiar with your Bitbucket repository, go ahead and add a new file locally. You can [push your change back to Bitbucket with SourceTree](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/iqyBMg), or you can [add, commit,](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/8QhODQ) and [push from the command line](https://confluence.atlassian.com/x/NQ0zDQ). |
