|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
--local::
|
|
|
|
|
-l::
|
|
|
|
|
When the repository to clone from is on a local machine,
|
|
|
|
|
this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport
|
|
|
|
|
mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of
|
|
|
|
|
HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories.
|
|
|
|
|
The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked
|
|
|
|
|
to save space when possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--shared::
|
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
|
|
|
When the repository to clone is on the local machine,
|
|
|
|
|
instead of using hard links automatically setup
|
|
|
|
|
.git/objects/info/alternatives to share the objects
|
|
|
|
|
with the source repository
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
--quiet::
|
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
|
|
|
Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and
|
|
|
|
|
"git-clone-pack" commands when given.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-n::
|
|
|
|
|
No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.

|
|
--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
|
|
|
|
|
-u <upload-pack>::
|

|
the command to specify non-default path for the command
|
|
|
|
|
run on the other end.
|

|
|
|

<repository>::

The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can
