So I am very new to github and I want to be able get the files from my project. Which I thought I knew how to do (git clone) but it brings over all of the repository, when all I want it the project folder. Is there a way to get just the project folder or maybe a way to set the projects resources to the repository. Thank you.

Generally speaking, the way to use git is to clone the entire repository. Based on the limited information you provided, I would recommend you have a separate git repository for this project. One repo per project or large portion of a project is fairly standard. It is not uncommon for a project to have a separate repo for the back-end server, the website, the game itself, and so on.
If the root of your question is about preventing git from storing/noticing changes in certain files, you can control that with a .gitignore file.
