Why is it showing error? .Facing issue to solve this question as git repository is not cloned at specified path


quetion) The DevOps team established a new Git repository last week, which remains unused at present. However, the Nautilus application development team now requires a copy of this repository on the Storage Server in the Stratos DC. Follow the provided details to clone the repository:

  1. The repository to be cloned is located at /opt/apps.git
  2. Clone this Git repository to the /usr/src/kodekloudrepos directory. Ensure no modifications are made to the repository during the cloning process.

Why is it showing error?

Hi @alaison

The target directory structure should look like this: /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps, and within the apps directory, there should be a .git directory, along with the other repository files.

The command you mentioned (sudo git clone /opt/apps.git /usr/src/kodekloudrepos) clones the repository directly into /usr/src/kodekloudrepos. This means the contents of the repository (including the .git directory and other files) will be placed inside /usr/src/kodekloudrepos, without creating an apps subdirectory.

To achieve the structure you want (/usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps), you would need to cd into the target directory /usr/src/kodekloudrepos first and then run: sudo git clone /opt/apps.git
This will create the apps directory inside /usr/src/kodekloudrepos and clone the repository into it.

This ensures no modifications are made to the repository during the cloning process.

Regards.
