# hub > A wrapper for git that adds commands for working with github-based projects. > The commands can also be used using "git" instead of "hub". - Clone a repository you own, using just the repository name rather than the full URL: `hub clone {{repo_name}}` - Clone another user's repository, using their github username and the repository name: `hub clone {{username}}/{{repo_name}}` - Create a fork of the current repository (cloned directly from another user) under your github profile: `hub fork` - Create a pull request of the current branch in the upstream project (after sending the changes to your fork on github): `hub pull-request` - Upload the current repository to your github account: `hub create`
