git-clone-script(1) =================== v0.1, July 2005 NAME ---- git-clone-script - Clones a repository. SYNOPSIS -------- 'git clone' [-l] [-u ] [-q] DESCRIPTION ----------- Clones a repository into a newly created directory. OPTIONS ------- -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. -q:: Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and "git-clone-pack" commands when given. -u :: When given, and the repository to clone from is handled by 'git-clone-pack', '--exec=' is passed to the command to specify non-default path for the command run on the other end. :: The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can be an "rsync://host/dir" URL, an "http://host/dir" URL, or [:]/dir notation that is used by 'git-clone-pack'. Currently http transport is not supported. :: The name of a new directory to be cloned into. It is an error to specify an existing directory.
