## ${docGenDescription}

## Prerequisites

With this step you can clone a remote Git repository to a local repository on an ABAP server. To be able to execute this step, the corresponding local repository has to exist on the local ABAP system.
Learn more about the SAP Git-enabled Change & Transport Sytem (gCTS) [here](https://help.sap.com/viewer/4a368c163b08418890a406d413933ba7/201909.001/en-US/f319b168e87e42149e25e13c08d002b9.html). With gCTS, ABAP developments on ABAP servers can be maintained in Git repositories.
