Explanation

git clone downloads a full copy of a remote repository to your local machine. The repository name is derived from the last segment of the URL path - in this case my-project - so a local directory named my-project is created containing the full repository history and working tree. It does not create a new repository (git init does that), it does not create a branch (git branch or git checkout -b does that), and it clones the entire repository - not just a single branch (though only the default branch is checked out initially).
