title: Getting started with Git on live website server
body: <p>I have a website and I currently use FTP to upload files. I now want to implement Git version control. I downloaded Git for Windows.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Do I have to download the live website directory and then clone it <code>git clone /path/to/repository</code>?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Or</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Do I clone the live website directory directly using <code>git clone username@host:/path/to/repository</code>?  </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Do I need to install anything on the live server?</p>
  
  <p>I already know about <code>git commit</code>, <code>git push origin</code> but difficulty understanding how to connect to live website server.</p>
