GitHub Desktop - trouble connecting to existing local repository

Hi Experts,

I've using GitHub Desktop (Windows).

I have just switched to a new PC.

I have copied all my files to the new PC.

I've made a few changes to the local repository.

Now I've struck a problem.

My local file setup uses this folder:

D:\Development\git-repos\APSDS-5.0-vb6 (so the GitHub repo is APSDS-5.0-vb6).

I can't remember what command I used, but it pulled all my GitHub code into this folder:

D:\Development\git-repos\APSDS-5.0-vb6\APSDS-5.0-vb6

My 2 questions are:

1. Is it safe to delete D:\Development\git-repos\APSDS-5.0-vb6\APSDS-5.0-vb6?

2. What would have been the right way to link to my existing files in D:\Development\git-repos\APSDS-5.0-vb6 ?

Hopefully, it can all be done in GitHub Desktop.

Regards,

Leigh
