When using the new Workspace, it doesnt allow you to clone it.

It says that the destination path already exists.

Do you mean when trying to run git clone https://gihub.com/YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/medals.git? You won't be able to run that in a workspace that already has a medals directory.

To get a completely empty workspace, you'll need to visit your workspaces page and click the New button.
