How to set folder name during cloning Git repository?

Wed, Jul 22, 2020 One-minute read

You want to clone repository to specific folder, for example because you have some naming convention on your disk. For doing this you have to call below command:

git clone <link_to_repo> <folder_name>

and then repo will be cloned to folder which you will indicate. Or you can create destination folder, go there and call:

git clone <link_to_repo> .

Then repository will be cloned to folder where you are currently.
