Change name of folder when cloning from GitHub

Question

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  quot sign-in-with-twitter quot  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

Easy solution:

git clone https://teamname.visualstudio.com/Project%20Name/_git/Repo%20Name "Repo Name"
