- When you do
git clone
by default it copy the root directory into the current directory in the terminal.
- I want so that
git clone
directly extract things in the current directory.
- Using
git clone
to clone in the current directory using this command, git clone https://github.com/user_name_github/name_project.git .
.
- Notice the dot in the end of the command.
- Note that the directory need to be empty before cloning!
