Subject: git clone on page 44 of progit-en.1084.pdf (2nd try)

Hello-
I am an easily-derailed newbie reading chapter 2 of progit-en.1084.pdf
(1) On page 44 of my copy, where it first discusses git clone, there's
reference to a "linkable library". How does this relate to
"repository". I thought the aim here was to get a clone of a remote
repository....
(2) In each of the two example git-clone commands, the "libgit2" appears twice:
git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2
What did make sense to me and worked:
$ git clone https://github.com/komwomak/shtoza SNOW
My GitHub user name: komwomak
The name of the remote repository out on my GitHub stuff: shtoza
The name of the local repository on the PC: SNOW
I would appreciate knowing whether I have gotten the wrong end of some stick.
crk
