Cloning a git repository

Question

This is my first time using any source control so I am a bit confused. When cloning a repository for the first time, am I going to clone to the destination of any folder that I want or will this destination folder need to be in my workspace for eclipse(where the code is)? Sorry for the newb question. I couldn't find anything on it online.

You can clone a git repository to any location you want. I don't have direct experience with Eclipse, but I imagine if you're cloning an existent Eclipse project, you can simply open it in Eclipse by navigating to the location where you cloned the repository and adding it to your Eclipse workspace.
