\r
280 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
281 <p>Clones a repository into a newly created directory. All remote
\r
282 branch heads are copied under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/</tt>, except
\r
283 that the remote <tt>master</tt> is also copied to <tt>origin</tt> branch.</p>
\r
284 <p>In addition, <tt>$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin</tt> file is set up to have

\r
287 <div class="content">
\r
288 <pre><tt>Pull: master:origin</tt></pre>
\r
290 <p>This is to help the typical workflow of working off of the
\r
291 remote <tt>master</tt> branch. Every time <tt>git pull</tt> without argument
\r
292 is run, the progress on the remote <tt>master</tt> branch is tracked by
\r
293 copying it into the local <tt>origin</tt> branch, and merged into the
\r
294 branch you are currently working on. Remote branches other than
\r
295 <tt>master</tt> are also added there to be tracked.</p>
\r
298 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
308 When the repository to clone from is on a local machine,
\r
309 this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport
\r
310 mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of
\r
311 HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories.
\r
312 The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked
\r
313 to save space when possible.
\r
324 When the repository to clone is on the local machine,
\r
325 instead of using hard links, automatically setup
\r
326 .git/objects/info/alternatives to share the objects
\r
327 with the source repository. The resulting repository
\r
328 starts out without any object of its own.
\r
339 Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and
\r
340 "git-clone-pack" commands when given.
\r
348 No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
\r
356 Make a <em>bare</em> GIT repository. That is, instead of
\r
357 creating <tt><directory></tt> and placing the administrative
\r
358 files in <tt><directory>/.git</tt>, make the <tt><directory></tt>
\r
359 itself the <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt>. This implies <tt>-n</tt> option. When
\r
360 this option is used, neither the <tt>origin</tt> branch nor the
\r
361 default <tt>remotes/origin</tt> file is created.
\r
369 Instead of using the branch name <em>origin</em> to keep track
\r
370 of the upstream repository, use <name> instead. Note
\r
371 that the shorthand name stored in <tt>remotes/origin</tt> is
\r
372 not affected, but the local branch name to pull the
\r
373 remote <tt>master</tt> branch into is.
\r
377 --upload-pack <upload-pack>
\r
380 -u <upload-pack>
\r
384 When given, and the repository to clone from is handled
\r
385 by <em>git-clone-pack</em>, <em>--exec=<upload-pack></em> is passed to
\r
386 the command to specify non-default path for the command
\r
387 run on the other end.
\r
395 The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can
\r
396 be any URL git-fetch supports.
\r
404 The name of a new directory to clone into. The "humanish"
\r
405 part of the source repository is used if no directory is
\r
406 explicitly given ("repo" for "/path/to/repo.git" and "foo"
\r
407 for "host.xz:foo/.git"). Cloning into an existing directory
