Procedure 6.4. Cloning a Remote Git Repository

2. Simultaneously, start the Secure Shell server, if not running already, by using the following command. The command is Linux and Mac specific only. On these platforms, if sshd has already been started, this command will fail and you may safely ignore this step.

   /sbin/service sshd start
