  • 0

Using github, when I clone a repository it creates a subfolder with the name of the repository.

For example, if I do the following command in my web root:

git clone git@github.com:exampl/myrepo.git

…then there is a folder public_html/myrepo/

How do I approach cloning it directly into the root of public_html without the subfolder being created?

Moreover, is this the best approach for deploying, or should I be creating a symlink, for example?
