I will absolutely run away with this - all of your answers suck, but all are long winded with irrelevant information and poorly stated, with absolutely zero followup questions to clarify what may have been asked for. I never said I actually cloned directory, yet Gergely thought it was time for a little soliloquy on it. Philip starts off with the condescending "Do remember that Git is a powerful tool" (thanks, O wise one! I had no idea! - the details are so so complicated for my tiny brain!) and then proceeds to complicate with forensic detail what is not really that complicated. Look here for a coherent, straight answer:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41968276/git-file-location-using-bonobo/41968698#41968698 The file/folder doesn't exist, that's why I couldn't find it. All of you are wrong. Gergely got the closest in an unclear way. Gadget as well, but it was still off the mark, then he spewed a bunch of whatever onto the screen. I understand you all are attempting to help, and appreciate the attempt even if I'm a bit belligerent here. On the other hand, the answers sucked, wasted my time, and confused me more than helped. And on the internets here, it could be wasting the time of thousands of people. All of that cumulative human time that could have been put into something constructive burned on unclear b.s. written by individuals well-intended, but who could remain silent if they can't communicate or listen well enough to produce a cogent answer.
