Github Desktop Repository Changing repo names
I’m having a continuous problem with my GitHub desktop (windows 10). I have a repo (let’s call it repo A) that I have made a website by hand on. Uploading all the files and changes. I also have another repo (repo B) which I am trying to use with GitHub pages to host my site temporarily. Now when I try to clone repo B (currently empty) onto my desktop it instantly changes the name of repo B to the name of repo A and syncing the files between them, hence rendering it useless for GitHub pages as repo B must be named “username.github.io” to host. Why is this happening and how do I fix it. Thanks!
