- michaelmcmillan 11y agoI stand corrected, wonder where I got that misconception from.
- logicallee 11y agoyou probably read a git tutorial.
- mh- 11y agoyou can't clone a remote repo into a non-empty directory. from `man git-clone`: Cloning into an existing directory is only allowed if the directory is empty.
