Cannot Clone GitHub Repo

The title says it all. I get this every time I try to clone the repo. I don’t know how to get past it…I’m not even sure what it’s complaining about…

$ git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git

Cloning into ‘llvm-project’…

Hi Bill,

I just checked my Linux and macOS boxes. Both work.

Given that the error is a local filesystem path, does the directory `llvm-project` already exist on your filesystem before the `git clone`? If so, then you might try doing a `rm -rf llvm-project` right before doing `git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git`

It didn’t exist. I tried it with “–recursive”, which was suggested to me, and it worked. I don’t know if it still fails without that flag, but at least I’m past this hurdle. :slight_smile:
