How to get the whole project from github based on the project URL?

In this particular case I am trying to get all files from the project

https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples/tree/master/basic/amqp

I am on Mac OS with git installed in the shell. So I am trying to construct a git clone command based on How to `git clone` including submodules? or some other similar links. Neither of my command works

Simply clone it:

git clone https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples.git

Then, if it has submodules, get them using:

git submodule update --init

That's all.

You will have the whole project cloned on your machine. If you are interested in a specific subdirectory, simply explore it.

As far as I can see, the directory you are interested in is not a submodule of the project, so downloading the latter and visit the former is a good approach.

EDIT

As suggested in the comment by HBHB, you can do the same even using a single command:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples.git
