How to clone a Git repository into a another folder?

In this article you will see that how you can clone a git repository rather then my current folder and how you can clone git repo in your desired folder with leaving your current folder.

 
You can use the command git clone to clone a Git repository into a specific folder. The git clone command creates a copy of a remote repository on your local machine.

 

Here's an example of how to clone a Git repository into a specific folder:

git clone <repository-url> <folder-name>

<repository-url> is the URL of the remote Git repository that you want to clone, and <folder-name> is the name of the folder where you want to place the cloned repository. For example, if you want to clone a repository with the URL https://github.com/user/repo.git into a folder named myproject, you can use the following command:

 

 git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git myproject

This command will create a new folder named myproject in your current working directory and clone the repository into that folder. You can also specify an absolute path to the folder where you want to place the cloned repository.

 

git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git /path/to/myproject

 

It's important to note that the git clone command will create a new local branch named master that tracks the remote master branch, so you can start working on the cloned repository right away.

How to create a new folder and clone git repo in that folder ? You can also create a new folder with mkdir command and then use git clone command to clone the repository inside the created folder

 

mkdir myproject
git clone https://github.com/user/repo.git myproject/
