I have a brand new Windows 10 Professional installed, configuring for the first time. I have a local web presence that I like to deploy, typically from Git repository straight into whatever the hosting mechanism is. Literally, historically I would literally git clone src/ dest/ and be done with it. Under Windows 10, apparently that is /c/inetpub/wwwroot, correct? Problem is, there are apparently security restrictions on /c/inetpub/wwwroot/ and I am getting errors like, fatal: could not create work tree dir 'cloned_dir'.: Permission denied, and just generally Permission denied to do much of anything in that directory. Curious about why that is, interested in constructive alternatives to what I am trying to accomplish here, goal: literally, just clone the directory in so that the web service "picks it up" seamlessly. One thought, for instance, maybe I clone into a completely separate directory, and create a symbolic link to that directory from within the wwwroot directory? Thoughts? Thank you...

Ah, I see... So, I added the IIS Windows Features for Windows 10 and did just this, cloned into a separate folder that I do control, and added that Virtual Directory under IIS Manager.
