git-clone(1) |
|
============ |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-clone - Clones a repository. |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git-clone' [-l [-s]] [-q] [-n] [--bare] [-o <name>] [-u <upload-pack>] |
|
<repository> [<directory>] |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Clones a repository into a newly created directory. All remote |
|
branch heads are copied under `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/`, except |
|
that the remote `master` is also copied to `origin` branch. |
|
|
|
In addition, `$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin` file is set up to have |
|
this line: |
|
|
|
Pull: master:origin |
|
|
|
This is to help the typical workflow of working off of the |
|
remote `master` branch. Every time `git pull` without argument |
|
is run, the progress on the remote `master` branch is tracked by |
|
copying it into the local `origin` branch, and merged into the |
|
branch you are currently working on. Remote branches other than |
|
`master` are also added there to be tracked. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
--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. The resulting repository |
|
starts out without any object of its own. |
|
|
|
--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. |
|
|
|
--bare:: |
|
Make a 'bare' GIT repository. That is, instead of |
|
creating `<directory>` and placing the administrative |
|
files in `<directory>/.git`, make the `<directory>` |
|
itself the `$GIT_DIR`. This implies `-n` option. When |
|
this option is used, neither the `origin` branch nor the |
|
default `remotes/origin` file is created. |
|
|
|
-o <name>:: |
|
Instead of using the branch name 'origin' to keep track |
|
of the upstream repository, use <name> instead. Note |
|
that the shorthand name stored in `remotes/origin` is |
|
not affected, but the local branch name to pull the |
|
remote `master` branch into is. |
|
|
|
--upload-pack <upload-pack>:: |
|
-u <upload-pack>:: |
|
When given, and the repository to clone from is handled |
|
by 'git-clone-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to |
|
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 |
|
be any URL git-fetch supports. |
|
|
|
<directory>:: |
|
The name of a new directory to clone into. The "humanish" |
|
part of the source repository is used if no directory is |
|
explicitly given ("repo" for "/path/to/repo.git" and "foo" |
|
for "host.xz:foo/.git"). Cloning into an existing directory |
|
is not allowed. |
|

Examples |
|
~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Clone from upstream:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6 |
|
$ cd my2.6 |
|
$ make |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
Make a local clone that borrows from the current directory, without checking things out:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git clone -l -s -n . ../copy |
|
$ cd copy |
|
$ git show-branch |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
Create a bare repository to publish your changes to the public:: |
|

|
------------ |
|
$ git clone --bare -l /home/proj/.git /pub/scm/proj.git |
|
------------ |
|
|
|
|
|
Create a repository on the kernel.org machine that borrows from Linus:: |
|
+ |
|
------------ |
|
$ git clone --bare -l -s /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git \ |
|
