How to clone to specific folder?

[maridob]

var git = require('gulp-git');
// Clone a remote repo
gulp.task('clone', function(){
git.clone('https://git-location', './apps/');
});

This one is running but it is creating an undefined folder and copying all the files there. Am I doing something wrong or is this possible?

git.clone("url", {cwd: "./apps/"});

Great! Awesome thanks! :-)

It seems like this folder has to exist before running the command above? Is that correct?

On the other hand, if you do something like:

git.clone("url", {args: "./apps/"});

Then the directory will be created if it does not exist.

Yes, git requires the directory to exist with cwd, while setting the args to the wanted path would do this:
git clone https://github.com/org/repo apps
Probably using the args would be better.

I want:
call a git commit command to a repo in another repo than my gulpfile is.
But that ways (1,2) not working:
1.)
gulp.task('commit', function() {
gulp.src('folder_git')
.pipe(git.commit(commit_msg, {args: 'folder_git', maxBuffer: 200 * 1024, quiet: true, disableMessageRequirement: false, disableAppendPaths: false, multiline: false}));
});
2:)
gulp.task('commit', function() {
gulp.src('folder_git')
.pipe(git.commit(commit_msg, {args: '', cwd:'folder_git', maxBuffer: 200 * 1024, quiet: true, disableMessageRequirement: false, disableAppendPaths: false, multiline: false}));
});
All it does is to call the commit on that repo the gulpfile is...
(with clone, it works perfectly)
Have someone an idea?
