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

You can do this.
