When I clone something from Github, it creates a folder with the same name as the app on my computer. Is there a way to change the name?
For example, doing this clone creates a long "sign-in-with-twitter" folder:
git clone https://github.com/sferik/sign-in-with-twitter.git I know I can rename the folder after, but I'm wondering if there's a way to rename it as it comes in by adding an option at the end of the statement. For example,
git clone https://github.com/sferik/sign-in-with-twitter.git as 'signin' the problem is that I'm cloning some apps multiple times in order to tweak some of the settings to get it to work, and if there's a problem, I delete the folder. But, I'm worried that some of the gems remain installed even though I've deleted the folder.

To clone git repository into a specific folder, you can use -C <path> parameter, e.g. Although it'll still create a whatever folder on top of it, so to clone the content of the repository into current directory, use the following syntax: cd /httpdocs git clone [email protected]:whatever .
On GitHub.com, navigate to the main page of the repository. Under your repository name, click Settings. Under the Repository Name heading, type the new name of your repository. Click Rename.
You can do this.
git clone https://github.com/sferik/sign-in-with-twitter.git signin # or git clone [email protected]:sferik/sign-in-with-twitter.git signin refer the manual here
