| 279 | <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| 280 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 281 | <p>Clones a repository into a newly created directory. All remote |
| 282 | branch heads are copied under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/</tt>, except |
| 283 | that the remote <tt>master</tt> is also copied to <tt>origin</tt> branch.</p> |
| 284 | <p>In addition, <tt>$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin</tt> file is set up to have |
| 285 | this line:</p> |
| 286 | <div class="literalblock"> |
| 287 | <div class="content"> |
| 288 | <pre><tt>Pull: master:origin</tt></pre> |
| 289 | </div></div> |
| 290 | <p>This is to help the typical workflow of working off of the |
| 291 | remote <tt>master</tt> branch. Every time <tt>git pull</tt> without argument |
| 292 | is run, the progress on the remote <tt>master</tt> branch is tracked by |
| 293 | copying it into the local <tt>origin</tt> branch, and merged into the |
| 294 | branch you are currently working on. Remote branches other than |
| 295 | <tt>master</tt> are also added there to be tracked.</p> |
| 296 | </div> |
| 297 | <h2>OPTIONS</h2> |
| 298 | <div class="sectionbody"> |
| 299 | <dl> |
| 300 | <dt> |
| 301 | --local |
| 302 | </dt> |
| 303 | <dt> |
| 304 | -l |
| 305 | </dt> |
| 306 | <dd> |
| 307 | <p> |
| 308 | When the repository to clone from is on a local machine, |
| 309 | this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport |
| 310 | mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of |
| 311 | HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories. |
| 312 | The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked |
| 313 | to save space when possible. |
| 314 | </p> |
| 315 | </dd> |
| 316 | <dt> |
| 317 | --shared |
| 318 | </dt> |
| 319 | <dt> |
| 320 | -s |
| 321 | </dt> |
| 322 | <dd> |
| 323 | <p> |
| 324 | When the repository to clone is on the local machine, |
| 325 | instead of using hard links, automatically setup |
| 326 | .git/objects/info/alternatives to share the objects |
| 327 | with the source repository. The resulting repository |
| 328 | starts out without any object of its own. |
| 329 | </p> |
| 330 | </dd> |
| 331 | <dt> |
| 332 | --quiet |
| 333 | </dt> |
| 334 | <dt> |
| 335 | -q |
| 336 | </dt> |
| 337 | <dd> |
| 338 | <p> |
| 339 | Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and |
| 340 | "git-clone-pack" commands when given. |
| 341 | </p> |
| 342 | </dd> |
| 343 | <dt> |
| 344 | -n |
| 345 | </dt> |
| 346 | <dd> |
| 347 | <p> |
| 348 | No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete. |
| 349 | </p> |
| 350 | </dd> |
| 351 | <dt> |
| Junio C Hamano | e663a7a | 2006-01-25 12:37:28 | [diff] [blame] | 352 | --bare |
| Junio C Hamano | 38064d5 | 2006-01-15 10:13:49 | [diff] [blame] | 353 | </dt> |

| 355 | <p> |
| Junio C Hamano | e663a7a | 2006-01-25 12:37:28 | [diff] [blame] | 356 | Make a <em>bare</em> GIT repository. That is, instead of |
| Junio C Hamano | 38064d5 | 2006-01-15 10:13:49 | [diff] [blame] | 357 | creating <tt><directory></tt> and placing the administrative |
| 358 | files in <tt><directory>/.git</tt>, make the <tt><directory></tt> |
| Junio C Hamano | e663a7a | 2006-01-25 12:37:28 | [diff] [blame] | 359 | itself the <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt>. This implies <tt>-n</tt> option. When |
| 360 | this option is used, neither the <tt>origin</tt> branch nor the |
| 361 | default <tt>remotes/origin</tt> file is created. |
| Junio C Hamano | 38064d5 | 2006-01-15 10:13:49 | [diff] [blame] | 362 | </p> |
| 363 | </dd> |
| 364 | <dt> |
| Junio C Hamano | 1a4e841 | 2005-12-27 08:17:23 | [diff] [blame] | 365 | -o <name> |
| 366 | </dt> |
| 367 | <dd> |
| 368 | <p> |
| 369 | Instead of using the branch name <em>origin</em> to keep track |
| 370 | of the upstream repository, use <name> instead. Note |
| 371 | that the shorthand name stored in <tt>remotes/origin</tt> is |
| 372 | not affected, but the local branch name to pull the |
| 373 | remote <tt>master</tt> branch into is. |
| 374 | </p> |
| 375 | </dd> |
| 376 | <dt> |
| 377 | --upload-pack <upload-pack> |
| 378 | </dt> |
| 379 | <dt> |
| 380 | -u <upload-pack> |
| 381 | </dt> |
| 382 | <dd> |
| 383 | <p> |
| 384 | When given, and the repository to clone from is handled |
| 385 | by <em>git-clone-pack</em>, <em>--exec=<upload-pack></em> is passed to |
| 386 | the command to specify non-default path for the command |
| 387 | run on the other end. |

| 391 | <repository> |
| 392 | </dt> |
| 393 | <dd> |
| 394 | <p> |
| 395 | The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can |
| 396 | be any URL git-fetch supports. |
| 397 | </p> |
| 398 | </dd> |
| 399 | <dt> |
| 400 | <directory> |
| 401 | </dt> |
| 402 | <dd> |
| 403 | <p> |
| 404 | The name of a new directory to clone into. The "humanish" |
| 405 | part of the source repository is used if no directory is |
| 406 | explicitly given ("repo" for "/path/to/repo.git" and "foo" |
| 407 | for "host.xz:foo/.git"). Cloning into an existing directory |
| 408 | is not allowed. |
