How can i make BitBucket git clone on my local machine starting from inside directory not from repository directory

On BitBucket my git repository named demorepo in that i have such directory structure i.e.

demorepo/ 
        /src/..
        /pom.xml
        /readme.txt

and i want to check out this repository on my local so that i can do with this command:

git clone https://[email protected]/demouser/demorepo.git

when i execute this command then it also creates / starts from demorepo directory on my local machine BUT I DON'T WANT THIS demorepo ON MY LOCAL MACHINE. I only want files & directories inside this demorepo repository.

HOW I CAN DO THIS?

thanks for help.

Solution

  • If you want to clone to the current directory, you can :

    git clone https://[email protected]/demouser/demorepo.git ./

    But be advised it should be blank (if not, git will tell you there are untracked, etc ...)

    You can also name the directory you want to clone to :

    git clone https://[email protected]/demouser/demorepo.git myDirectoryName
