Locating Git Clone

Locating Git Clone

[flebber]

I downloaded from git as I was following this walkthrough
http://www.grails.org/Installation.

So I issued the command 

    * git clone git://github.com/grails/grails-core.git

So that worked no problems, except I don't know where it cloned it to or how
I can move it. I had intended it to go to c:\grails.

Is there a way to find a locate something you have cloned?

'git clone URL [FOLDER]' clones repo to FOLDER if it is set
and to basename of URL to your current dir (say PWD) otherwise
I.e. PWD/grails-core (.git suffix is automatically removed) is this case

RTFM ))

So how can I determine which folder is set for git? Should I have declared
the folder to clone to in the orginal clone command?

I tried using --get-dir and the man.

renshaw@RENSHAWRESIDENC ~
$ --git-dir
sh.exe": --git-dir: command not found

renshaw@RENSHAWRESIDENC ~
$ --git-dir=GIT_DIR
sh.exe": --git-dir=GIT_DIR: command not found

renshaw@RENSHAWRESIDENC ~
$ help mv
sh.exe": help: no help topics match `mv'.  Try `help help'
fo mv'.

renshaw@RENSHAWRESIDENC ~
$ man -k mv
sh.exe": man: command not found

renshaw@RENSHAWRESIDENC ~
$ info mv
sh.exe": info: command not found

renshaw@RENSHAWRESIDENC ~
$ mv grails-1.3.6 c:\grails
mv: cannot stat `grails-1.3.6': No such file or directory

Wrong, it's a git option, i.e., you'd use something like
git --git-dir some_git_command ...

But you do NOT need it at all. Don't use it, it's a bit advanced. Just
change into the right directory before using any git command.

Forget it,
http://www.google.com/search?q=man+mv
is what I use instead. It's fast enough for me.

You did
git clone git://github.com/grails/grails-core.git
so I'd suppose you could move it using
mv grails-core c:/grails
Do not use "\" as it's an escape character, you'd need to double it. But
use anything you like for moving it.

Thanks for the help.
