++#### Cloning into the current directory
++
++When cloning a repository into the current working directory (`.`), the destination must be empty. If you need to clone over an existing checkout, use a conditional to handle this:
++
++```toml title="run.toml"
++[setup]
++commands = ["git clone https://github.com/django/django.git . || (git fetch origin && git reset --hard)"]
++```
++
++Alternatively, clone into a subdirectory:
++
++```toml title="run.toml"
++[setup]
++commands = ["git clone https://github.com/django/django.git repo"]
++```
++
++Then reference `repo/` in your workflow prompts and scripts.
