Is it possible to clone the same repository multiple times with Github for Windows? The reason I ask is I want to clone the Laravel framework multiple times, once for each project I'm using it for.

It is possible, and it is simple enough

In git bash:

git clone <repo> <directory>
git clone <repo> <directory_2>
.............................
git clone <repo> <directory_N-1>
git clone <repo> <directory_N>

Repo is your repository URL, and all those directory[N] are your desired directory names

Also, why not just make a copy of an already cloned repo to another directory?
