For a while I had just my code under source control, but I decided it would be cool to put things like my stuff in my .vim folder among other things in a repo. (I'm obviously not going to store everything in my repo, just various config files, my src directory, and maybe a few other things as well)

I was able to set up a repo fine, then push it to my server where I can access it from my other computers, but I can't clone it to my other computers. When I try to clone it it fails because the home directory isn't empty. Is there a way to do what I want here?
