I uses macOS and Ubuntu. I want to git clone a certain project https://github.com/Project/project.git to a specific directory $HOME/git. I saw this page: How do you clone a Git repository into a specific folder?, but it requires to explicitly specify its project name like: git clone https://github.com/Project/project.git $HOME/git/project. How can I git clone them without specifying its project name?



[Add1] If I git clone like: git clone https://github.com/Project/project.git $HOME/git
then I encountered fatal: destination path '/home/paalon/git' already exists and is not an empty directory.

[Add2] I want to clone git-managed projects under $HOME/git directory. I want to set the state ls $HOME/git shows like project1/ project2/ project3/.

Split into 2 commands:



cd $HOME/git

git clone https://github.com/Project/project.git


That way you name the project only once.

    How do you clone a Git repository into a specific folder?




    The git clone command can be used in the following way:



     git clone <url> <destination>




    fatal: destination path /home/paalon/git already exists and is not an empty directory.




    This is due to the face that you already have folder with the given name /home/paalon/git.

    Delete the "old folder" and clone again, this time add the desired path to your clone command

    I don't think that's actually correct. You can clone providing any directory as your target. It doesn't have to match the project name:



    $ git clone https://github.com/eantoranz/bwv blahblah
    
Cloning into 'blahblah'...
    
remote: Enumerating objects: 221, done.
    
remote: Total 221 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 221
    
Receiving objects: 100% (221/221), 62.45 KiB | 480.00 KiB/s, done.
    
Resolving deltas: 100% (150/150), done.`1

            I don't think that's actually correct. You can clone providing any directory as your target. It doesn't have to match the project name:



            $ git clone https://github.com/eantoranz/bwv blahblah
            
Cloning into 'blahblah'...
