Goal: clone repo and all of it’s project contents and branches
I cloned using URL and had to setup both an SSH Key and PAT.
Bash Terminal:
me@PF2DCSXD:/mnt/c/Users/me/Documents/GitHub/project$ git clone https://github.com/project/synthetic-data-gen.git

>Solution :
You need to be into the cloned directory before doing git command
cd synthetic-data-gen
