Clone a Git repository to a specific folder

—The Problem
How can I clone a Git repository into a specific folder?
The Solution
The git clone command takes an optional second argument specifying the directory to clone into. For example, the following command will clone a repository named monorepo into a folder named acme-monorepo:
git clone https://githost.com/acme/monorepo acme-monorepo
Alternatively, we can create the folder acme-monorepo and use the Bash . operator to clone the repository into the current directory, as below:
mkdir acme-monorepo cd acme-monorepo git clone https://githost.com/acme/monorepo .
