4 | NAME | |
5 | ---- | |
6 | git-clone-pack - Clones a repository by receiving packed objects. | |
7 | ||
8 | ||
9 | SYNOPSIS | |
10 | -------- | |
76e712f1 | 11 | 'git-clone-pack' [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...] |
6ec311da JH |
12 | |
13 | DESCRIPTION | |
14 | ----------- | |
15 | Clones a repository into the current repository by invoking | |
16 | 'git-upload-pack', possibly on the remote host via ssh, in | |
76e712f1 JH |
17 | the named repository, and stores the sent pack in the local |
18 | repository. | |

20 | OPTIONS | |
21 | ------- | |
6ec311da JH |
22 | --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: |
23 | Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the | |
f73ae1fc CM |
24 | remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. |
25 | Installations of sshd ignore the user's environment | |
6ec311da | 26 | setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and |
72e9340c | 27 | your privately installed git may not be found on the system |
6ec311da JH |
28 | default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set |
29 | up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people | |
30 | who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive | |
31 | shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of | |
32 | the things up in .bash_profile). | |
33 | ||
8b3d9dc0 JH |
34 | <host>:: |
35 | A remote host that houses the repository. When this | |
36 | part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via | |
37 | ssh. | |
6ec311da | 38 | |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
39 | <directory>:: |
40 | The repository to sync from. | |
41 | ||
42 | <head>...:: | |
6ec311da JH |
43 | The heads to update. This is relative to $GIT_DIR |
44 | (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified, | |
45 | all heads are updated to match the remote repository. | |
