You don't have a git repository of your stuff, so you can't clone the
repository.

The way I do it is to change to ~/Documents/DirectoryName/ and type

git init

which will create an empty repository in the current directory.  Then you
add your files to the repository by typing

git add *

which adds all the files to the staging area, followed by

git commit

which commits them to the repository.  And now you're off and running!

Good luck,
