I have students who are writing their first Java programs, and pushing them to GitHub. I want to clone their projects so that I can grade them. I tried a simple “Hello world” Java application as a test to make sure that all of my instructions were accurate and that I could in fact clone a Java project from GitHub. As I explained, Netbeans 9 will clone the source code files, but when it goes to create the project, it brings up the new project dialogue and then creates a Java application with an empty main(). The URL of this test program is https://github.com/debryro/test.git
