How to git clone with specifying the destination directory without its project name?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
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/gitalready 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
