Wiki Update for "Build Steps" of the "Building the Zotero Desktop App" including the GitHub Cli

Hello,

I am not sure of how much of a necessity this is, but I was wondering if it also made sense to include a GitHub CLI code snippet for the git repository clone step in the
"Building the Zotero Desktop App" of the wiki documentation. I was thinking something simple like...

Building Steps

1. Make sure you have Git and Git LFS installed. `git lfs` shouldn't show an error.

2. Clone the Zotero source code:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/zotero/zotero zotero-client


If using the GitHub CLI instead:

gh repo clone https://github.com/zotero/zotero zotero-client -- --recursive



Thanks for all of the hard work!

Best,
Harun

    Thanks, but I think we're going to operate under the assumption that someone running gh knows (or should know) how to clone a repo. Every project that gives a git clone command doesn't need to duplicate it just because GitHub made a custom client.

    That's a totally fair assumption, thanks for the reply!
