Hi @Gowthaman_Subramanian

Are you cloning to existing directory?

If you’re cloning into an existing directory, ensure that the directory is empty. Git only allows cloning into an existing directory if it’s empty.

If it’s not empty, consider cloning into a new directory or clearing the existing one
