title: How do I clone a git repository to a new project?
body: <p>For example, I want to use some framework that's located on Github. Is there a way to clone a repository without the <code>.git</code> structure? That way I can add new a remote url and push to my own repository appropriately?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong></p>
  
  <p>The purpose of this is so that I can take a framework off from Github and put it into my own brand new repository without importing any git data from the framework's repository (like git logs). I know you can clone and remove the appropriate data or you could just download a tarball using Github's tool, but I'm just wondering if there's any easier way to do it such as like a <code>git clone</code>, preferably a single command.</p>
