After the git workshop I taught, I think it was confusing for students to pull a classmate's repo that was named planets but was different from their own planets repo.

This may be fixed if we have students name their repos something unique... i.e., planets-username or something like that. It would involve fixing references to planets throughout the lesson, including some of the images. If others think this would help I can edit all the text and images I can work on this... just don't want to start unless there is consensus that this would work.

I agree this is confusing. I'm not even sure if all OS will handle the situation in the same way (Mac OS adds a "1" to the folder name".)

As you say, the best solution is to add their partner's username (they need it to clone) to the folder name when cloning:

git clone https://github.com/vlad/planets.git vlad-planets

When learners clone their collaborator's repo, it's better if the
pass the name of the directory where they want to clone it. Otherwise,
learners get confused, as everybody has the same name for their local repo.

Fixes #158.
