Yes, to clone ArduPilot source code you need to install git first.

After cloning you must install ArduPilot software dependencies.

Then you’ll be able to compile the source code.

There os documentation on how to compile ArduPilot from source.

Thanks for your reply.Downloading source code through wsl2 often fails.Can I download the code to windows and then compile it in wsl

You can probably do it within Windows itself.

Go to the section called “Building the Code”
