user97746: this is the version that I want to clone :
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/releases/tag/v0.16.1

user95422: You cannot directly clone a tree you have to first take the full repository then checkout the commit you want.
For the 0.16.1 version execute these commands in a shell:
git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin
git checkout dac5d68
