How to download (clone) a Git repository into a specific folder ?

If you want to download (clone) a Git repository into a specific folder, you can do it very easily using the git clone command with a folder path at the end. Option 1 – Clone directly into a specific folder Command format: git clone Example: git clone https://github.com/choullanaresh/NotesAndFiles.git D:\Projects\NotesApp This will: Download the Git repository into the folder D:\Projects\NotesApp If the folder doesn’t exist, Git will create it automatically. Option 2 – Clone in current folder with custom name. If you’re in a directory (e.g. D:\Projects) and you want to clone the repo into a subfolder with a custom name, do this: cd D:\Projects git clone https://github.com/choullanaresh/NotesAndFiles.git MyNotes It will create a folder called MyNotes inside D:\Projects and put the repo code there.
