Fxi git clone from README.md file

[techsk8]

Just remove the tilda. That will solve the issue.

user@workstation:~/work$ git clone https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/Machfiles.git ~
fatal: destination path '/home/user' already exists and is not an empty directory.

Compared with having no tilda:

user@workstation:~/work$ git clone https://github.com/ChristianChiarulli/Machfiles.git
