| 2 | =================== | |
| 3 | v0.1, July 2005 | |
| 4 | ||
| 5 | NAME | |
| 6 | ---- | |
| 7 | git-clone-script - Clones a repository. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | ||
| 10 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 11 | -------- | |
| 12 | 'git clone' [-l] [-u <upload-pack>] [-q] <repository> <directory> | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 15 | ----------- | |
| 16 | Clones a repository into a newly created directory. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | OPTIONS | |
| 19 | ------- | |
| 20 | -l:: | |
| 21 | When the repository to clone from is on a local machine, | |
| 22 | this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport | |
| 23 | mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of | |
| 24 | HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories. | |
| 25 | The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked | |
| 26 | to save space when possible. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | -q:: | |
| 29 | Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and | |
| 30 | "git-clone-pack" commands when given. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | -u <upload-pack>:: | |
| 33 | When given, and the repository to clone from is handled | |
| 34 | by 'git-clone-pack', '--exec=<upload-pack>' is passed to | |
| 35 | the command to specify non-default path for the command | |
| 36 | run on the other end. | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | <repository>:: | |
| 39 | The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can | |
| 40 | be an "rsync://host/dir" URL, an "http://host/dir" URL, | |
| 41 | or [<host>:]/dir notation that is used by 'git-clone-pack'. | |
| 42 | Currently http transport is not supported. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | <directory>:: | |
| 45 | The name of a new directory to be cloned into. It is an | |
| 46 | error to specify an existing directory. | |
