How to clone git items to a non-empty directory

If we were to clone a Git project in a non-empty directory, we would be prompted with an error message:

Fatal:destination path '. ' already exists and is isn't an empty directory.

The solution is:

1. Enter a non-empty directory, assuming it is/workdir/proj1

2. Git clone--no-checkout https://git.oschina.net/NextApp/platform.git tmp

3. MV Tmp/.git. #将 the. Git directory under the TMP directory to move to the current directory

4. RmDir tmp

5. Git Reset--hard head

Then you can do all kinds of normal operation.
