when I clone a git repository, for example

git@github.com:mainRepo/index.git

then I create an index folder where all the files are located.

Question: But if I don’t want the index folder to be created, and the files were cloned simply to the folder where I am, or another specified one, is it possible?

to the folder where i am

 $ git clone url .

other specified

 $ git clone url другой/каталог

The specified directory (if already exists) must be empty. otherwise, you get an error:

fatal: destination path. already exists and is not an empty directory.

See the documentation for details on using the git clone command.
