Locating Git Clone

I downloaded from git as I was following this walkthrough http://www.grails.org/Installation.

So I issued the command 

    * git clone git://github.com/grails/grails-core.git

So that worked no problems, except I don't know where it cloned it to or how I can move it. I had intended it to go to c:\grails.

Is there a way to find a locate something you have cloned?

'git clone URL [FOLDER]' clones repo to FOLDER if it is set and to basename of URL to your current dir (say PWD) otherwise I.e. PWD/grails-core (.git suffix is automatically removed) is this case

RTFM )) 

So how can I determine which folder is set for git? Should I have declared the folder to clone to in the orginal clone command?

I tried using --get-dir and the man.

Wrong, it's a git option, i.e., you'd use something like git --git-dir some_git_command ...

But you do NOT need it at all. Don't use it, it's a bit advanced. Just change into the right directory before using any git command.

Forget it, http://www.google.com/search?q=man+mv is what I use instead. It's fast enough for me.

You did git clone git://github.com/grails/grails-core.git so I'd suppose you could move it using mv grails-core c:/grails Do not use "\" as it's an escape character, you'd need to double it. But use anything you like for moving it.

Thanks for the help.

Didn't realise at all I could navigate like a unix shell. All solved thanks.
