This section explains how to clone your personal dep-ppl-base repository from GitHub to the Power Platform controller, as well as how to pull the latest changes from the remote repository to the controller.
Pulling or cloning is only possible if the controller has internet access to reach GitHub. Ensure the controller is connected to the internet before proceeding.
If the controller doesn’t have direct internet access to GitHub, you can instead use the copy method to transfer the etc folder from your local dep-ppl-base repository to the Power Platform controller.
