git-clone(1)
============
NAME
----
git-clone - Clones a repository.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-clone' [-l [-s]] [-q] [-n] [-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.
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.
--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 be cloned into. It is an
error to specify an existing directory.
