So the answer depends on what you mean by "through the git interface"

If you mean via the git command line interface, the answer is to simply add the path to where you want to clone the repo as an argument to the command , i.e.

git clone -b yourdifferentbranch https://github/youruser/yourrepo yourdifferentdir

If by git interface you mean the GitHub for Windows client, when you start the client, go to the Settings gear in the upper right corner , Select Options, and then change the "Clone path" directory . I assume the github for mac client is the same but I don't have a mac.

If you mean some other git interface I apologize for leaving it out of the answer
