title: Downloading an entire git repo to google colab
body: <p>There is a repository on github which contains image dataset in it. I want to download the entire repository on my google colab. But it does not seem to be working.
  Here is what I have tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>from google.colab import drive
  drive.mount('/content/drive')
  
  # kaggle is the folder that I created on my drive
  !cd "drive/My Drive/kaggle"
  
  # Downloading the repo on my drive
  !git clone https://github.com/ardamavi/Sign-Language-Digits-Dataset.git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I am getting an error</p>
  
  <pre><code>Cloning into 'Sign-Language-Digits-Dataset'...
  fatal: I don't handle protocol '/content/https'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What was expected : </p>
  
  <p>How can I download the entire repo on my drive or in the run time storage of google colab. Either of them will do.</p>
  
  <p>Note : I tried all possible answers that I was getting as suggestion for this question but none of them worked for me.</p>
