Answer:
git clone
accepts a last argument that is the destination directory, it is by default the name of the project but you can change it. In your case you probably want simply .
:
1 2 |
$ git clone origin-url . |
But note that, from man git-clone
:
Cloning into an existing directory is only allowed if the directory is empty.
