The instruction in the article "Duplicating a repository" is a little confusing and can be made more clear. #16018

What article on docs.github.com is affected?
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/duplicating-a-repository
What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?
As you can see in the image above, this is not really correct.
When I --bare clone a repository, the folder that gets pulled into my local is my_folder.git instead of my_folder.
While reading this doc, it got me super confused as to which one to cd into and then which one to rm -rf.
Because in my case, I had a proper clone of a repo in a directory. Then I made a --bare clone in the repo. There were two directories my_folder and my_folder.git and it was not super clear to me which one to use.
