A Linux administrator needs to create a local copy of a Git repository located at https://gitserver.com/project/utils.git. The administrator wants the new local directory to be named admin-scripts instead of the default utils. Which of the following commands will accomplish this in a single step?
The correct command is git clone https://gitserver.com/project/utils.git admin-scripts. The git clone command takes the repository URL as its first argument and, if a second argument is provided, uses that value as the name of the destination directory. If the second argument is omitted, Git uses the repository name (utils) as the directory name.
git clone https://gitserver.com/project/utils.git --name admin-scripts is incorrect because --name is not a valid option for specifying the destination directory.
git init admin-scripts && git pull https://gitserver.com/project/utils.git is incorrect because it requires two separate commands. Although this sequence would work, the question asks for a single-step solution.
git clone https://gitserver.com/project/utils.git && mv utils admin-scripts is also a two-command approach (clone, then move), and therefore does not meet the single-step requirement.
