Potential fix for https://github.com/divineniiquaye/pho-monorepo/security/code-scanning/1

To fix the problem, we should avoid constructing the shell command dynamically with potentially tainted values. Instead, we can use the execFileSync function, which allows us to pass arguments separately from the command itself. This approach ensures that the arguments are not interpreted by the shell, preventing command injection vulnerabilities.

We need to:

  1. Replace the dynamic command construction with execFileSync.
  2. Pass the url and tempDir as separate arguments to the git clone command.
