Hi lizajanneth! I'm the friendly 🤖 of the GitHub Training Team.
I can see that you're already a collaborator. Any other issues are above my paygrade at the moment, so we'll have to wait for a pesky hu-man trainer. Not to worry though, they'll drop by within 24 hours to answer your questions!

@lizajanneth just remove that entire folder with
git rm -rf <folder-name>and then dogit clone <clone-url>from scratch.lizajanneth commentedon May 19, 2017
@hectorsector
the command for removing the folder did not work, what do I do now?
hectorsector commentedon May 19, 2017
@lizajanneth could you please show me what it says? you can also remove the entire folder from your file explorer.

@ccaillouet are you also trying to remove the folder?

gitbefore my previous command, just runrm -rf github-games.
