Cloning git directly to the web root public_html

Question

Using github, when I clone a repository, it creates a subfolder named repository.

For example, if I execute the following command in my web root:

git clone git@github.com :exampl/myrepo.git

... then there is a folder public_html/myrepo/

How to approach cloning directly to the root of public_html without creating a subfolder?

Also, is this the best approach for deployment, or should I create a symlink, for example?
