Must delete old clone hello-treehouse before creating new clone of forked hello-treehouse

2 videos back (Contributing to a Project with an Issue) we cloned realkdaigle/hello-treehouse. In this video we now clone our fork of realkdagle/hello-treehouse. I do not recall when we deleted the old clone, but you need to do so or you get this:

git clone https://github.com/kdaigle-inc9/hello-treehouse.git
fatal: destination path 'hello-treehouse' already exists and is not an empty directory.

My fork URL is as show above.

Just delete your old hello-treehouse working directory and try again:

rm -Rf hello-treehouse
git clone https://github.com/kdaigle-inc9/hello-treehouse.git
Cloning into 'hello-treehouse'...
remote: Counting objects: 12, done.
remote: Total 12 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 12
Unpacking objects: 100% (12/12), done.

This is just to help viewers, not question, good video otherwise.
