Re: git clone problem

Hi Santiago!

Thank you for your answer.

What I meant was that the "WHATEVER" directory contained the same files 
as the current directory (i.e the directory where I typed "git clone"). 
Thus, no files from the remote repository were cloned. It seemed really 
weird. However I was playing around with git and finally I was able to 
clone remote files in a "test" location as you suggested.

Thank you very much.

Hello, Jordi.

Hmm, it should've cloned in the "whatever" directory.

Can you post your git version/configs and maybe the output verbatim of
the command when you run it?

If you can reproduce in an empty dictionary that'd be better

$ mkdir test && cd test

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/...

$ ls

Thanks,
-Santiago

Hi all! Not sure if that will reach the goal, but let's it a try.

I have a problem with the git clone command: when I try to clone a remote
repository with the following:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/whatever.git

what I actually obtain is a copy of my own files in the current directory.

I mean:

In the current directory:

$ls

-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K oct 24 17:29 get_fasta.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K set  5 13:05 script_clus_miRNA_c95.pl

$git clone --recursive https://github.com/whatever.git WHATEVER

$ls

-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K oct 24 17:29 get_fasta.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K set  5 13:05 script_clus_miRNA_c95.pl

-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K set  5 13:05 WHATEVER

$ls WHATEVER

-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K oct 24 17:29 get_fasta.pl
-rwxr-xr-x 1  1,6K set  5 13:05 script_clus_miRNA_c95.pl

I am really confused with that.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you
