Listing 4-7: Cloning bluediving with git clone
The
git clone
command copies all the data and files from that location
onto your system. You can check to see that they’ve been successfully down-
loaded by using the long listing command
ls –l
on the target directory,
like so:
kali >
ls -l
If you’ve successfully cloned
bluediving to your system, you should see
something like the following output:
total 80
drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Jan 10 22:19 bluediving
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 5 11:17 Desktop

As you can see, bluediving has been successfully
