Function to clone a remote repo on github to creat a local repo at a specified destination on google drive. The default destination used is the users home directory '/conten/drive/My Drive'. After successful cloning, the local repo is configured with users name, email, and password to allow automatic authentication during push/pull requests with the remote repo. Sharing the local repo (on google drive) should therefore be avoided as this risks exposing your github authentication credentials to others. We also nbdev_install_git_hooks to ensure notebook metadata is cleaned up before github integration.
