How to find the path of an installed "git" package

I'm trying to get the google-api-php-client.git api working on a Godaddy account.

I've "PuTTY'ed" in and run git clone https://github.com/google/google-api-php-client.git.

Now, I think I need to add the path to my php.ini file.
I have NO IDEA what the path is supposed to be.

Thanks.

Git should by default clone into a new subdirectory of the current directory from which you ran the git clone command. So, there should be a new directory in your current directory called google-api-php-client. Update your PHP.ini file with the path to the Google PHP client and you should be good to go:

include_path = ".:/usr/local/lib/php:./google-api-php-client/src"

Here ./.google-api-php-client/src means start at the current directory (where you did the clone), and go into the subdirectory called google-api-php-client.

Here is a link to the installation notes for the Google API PHP Git package.

Unless specified the dir that git clones to is the dir in which you run the git clone command on.

so if I was cloning something into /opt for instance I would cd to /opt and run git clone which would clone the gits dir into a folder under /opt.
