I have created a framework that I would like to base all of my projects off of.
It would be nice if I could git clone it into a new project with out all of the git info.
Is my only solution to delete the .git folder after I clone?
Thanks

It seems that you're looking for git submodules, which allow your solutions to include projects hosted by another repository. So, basically, you should just add a submodule (referring to the repository your framework is hosted by) to the repository containing your project based off your framework.

If you don't want the .git then you have to either clone and delete and use the git archive command's remote option to directly get the contents of the repo ( while piping it and untar it).
If you are more flexible, git submodules is meant for this purpose, but it will be equivalent to cloning a repo, but the submodules information will be tracked in the root repo and anyone cloning the repo will be able to get the submodules.
