Alternative

If this doesn't work, just use the below (It will definitely work, only one file requires):

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

int main() {
    std::cout << "GitHub Repository Cloner" << std::endl;

    // Retrieve repository URL from user
    std::string repositoryUrl;
    std::cout << "Enter the URL of the GitHub repository: ";
    std::getline(std::cin, repositoryUrl);

    // Retrieve target directory from user
    std::string targetDirectory;
    std::cout << "Enter the target directory (leave empty for current directory): ";
    std::getline(std::cin, targetDirectory);

    // Construct the git clone command
    std::string command = "git clone " + repositoryUrl;
    if (!targetDirectory.empty()) {
        command += " " + targetDirectory;
    }

    // Execute the git clone command
    int result = std::system(command.c_str());

    if (result == 0) {
        std::cout << "Repository cloned successfully!" << std::endl;
    } else {
        std::cerr << "Failed to clone repository." << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
