title: How to git clone a project to the root directory (/)?
body: <p>I have a project with some folders that should be in the root directory like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>/etc
  /run
  /tmp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And if possible, I want to clone that project right to the root directory so that I don't have to move those folders manually, is it possible to do that? I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone myprojecturl /
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it gave me:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fatal: destination path '/' already exists and is not an empty directory.
  </code></pre>
