Git is the most widely used version control software in the world: it records a code project’s complete history, change by change. A project managed by Git is called a repository (or repo). The git clone command downloads a full copy of a repository onto your PC — that’s exactly what you do to grab the TradingView MCP server from GitHub: a single command in PowerShell, and all the code lands in a local folder, ready to be installed with npm.
