How to create an existing GitHub project in IntelliJ IDEA?

Here are the steps for creating a new project from an existing GitHub project in IntelliJ IDEA. This example uses a Kotlin project, though the steps are the same for any type of project.

1. Ensure you have git installed. If you already have git installed then move on to step #2.
   1. You can install git using chocolatey package manager.
      1. To install chocolatey package manager, open an administrative command prompt and copy and paste the following command. If you already have chocolatey installed then you can skip this step.

         @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET "PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"

      2. Next install git by copy and pasting the following command into the same administrative command prompt

         cinst -y git
         

      3. Close the administrative command prompt
2. Open any existing project in IntelliJ IDEA.
3. Then goto File -> New -> Project from Version Control -> GitHub
