When using git clone to project on github, the project folder is duplicated. How to solve it?

Question

There is a workspace folder, which contains four folders a, b, c, and d

Suppose there is a project named c on my github

I git init directly in the c folder under the workspace, and then git clone the c project on github
This creates another c folder, which is very troublesome

If you git init directly in the workspace, there will be only one c folder.
But I am afraid to push the files a, b, and d to github later. .
Is there such a good way?
Does everyone create a warehouse directly under the workspace, and then write gitignore rules to filter a, b, d?

Answer 1

git clone --help

git clone [--template=<template_directory>]
                 [-l] [-s] [--no-hardlinks] [-q] [-n] [--bare] [--mirror]
                 [-o <name>] [-b <name>] [-u <upload-pack>] [--reference <repository>]
                 [--dissociate] [--separate-git-dir <git dir>]
                 [--depth <depth>] [--[no-]single-branch]
                 [--recursive | --recurse-submodules] [--] <repository>
                 [<directory>]

You can see that the last parameter is the directory name.

Answer 2

Don’t understand what you mean?

I directly git clone the corresponding project address to the workspace. Is there any problem with this? I don’t quite understand?

Answer 3

Look carefully at lz’s description, there is a folder dir under the workspace.

git clone http://*.github.com/demo.git dir

Can you try this?

The mac file system is not case-sensitive.

There are two folders dir and dir in the repositroy.
github will display two folders, and when you clone it, only dir may be displayed.

Then you can do it locally

mv dir dr

Then the files in the two local folders were moved and the dr file was downloaded.

Answer 4

If you don’t want to put other filespush上去，就用.gitignore过滤掉。你说的直接在c文件夹下git init会多出来c文件，你可以直接服务器上的c文件夹内容pull into the local c folder, wouldn’t it be fine

Answer 5

Use the command in the c folder under the workspace folder

cd existing_folder
git init
git remote add origin git@github.example.com:yourRepository/yourRepository.git
git add .
git commit
git push -u origin master

In this way, your local c folder will be synchronized to the remote github repository

Answer 6

If there is already a remote library and there are few new contents in the c project folder in the workspace, please do the following:

1. Delete the cproject folder

in the workspace folder

2. Clone from the remote repository: git clone http://your.github.com/c.git c
   After the command is executed, the remote repository will be copied to the local directory, which means that the c folder at this time is already the local repository and has nothing to do with the a, b, d folders.

All git can be executed in the git在c folder.
