Git Cloning Question

I cloned the git repo for yay and I was wondering how to get rid of the repo clone without deleting yay itself.
I used the command

git clone

and it made a folder in my computer for the cloned repo. That is what I want to get rid of, not the actual program.

Re: Git Cloning Question

Use rm to remove the directory created with git clone. The PKGBUILD directory is not connected to a package after it is installed.

Re: Git Cloning Question

if it was for a local tool you can get rid of the dir.

If you installed a service or something that uses the network in any way, you probably want to keep it around and update from time to time to avoid vulnerabilities...
