\r
282 <p>Clones a repository into a newly created directory. All remote
\r
283 branch heads are copied under <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/</tt>, except
\r
284 that the remote <tt>master</tt> is also copied to <tt>origin</tt> branch.</p>

285 <p>In addition, <tt>$GIT_DIR/remotes/origin</tt> file is set up to have

\r
288 <div class="content">
\r
289 <pre><tt>Pull: master:origin</tt></pre>
\r
291 <p>This is to help the typical workflow of working off of the
\r
292 remote <tt>master</tt> branch. Every time <tt>git pull</tt> without argument
\r
293 is run, the progress on the remote <tt>master</tt> branch is tracked by
\r
294 copying it into the local <tt>origin</tt> branch, and merged into the
\r
295 branch you are currently working on. Remote branches other than
\r
296 <tt>master</tt> are also added there to be tracked.</p>

\r
309 When the repository to clone from is on a local machine,
\r
310 this flag bypasses normal "git aware" transport
\r
311 mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of
\r
312 HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories.
\r
313 The files under .git/objects/ directory are hardlinked
\r
314 to save space when possible.
\r
325 When the repository to clone is on the local machine,
\r
326 instead of using hard links, automatically setup
\r
327 .git/objects/info/alternates to share the objects
\r
328 with the source repository. The resulting repository
\r
329 starts out without any object of its own.
\r
333 --reference <repository>
\r
337 If the reference repository is on the local machine
\r
338 automatically setup .git/objects/info/alternates to
\r
339 obtain objects from the reference repository. Using
\r
340 an already existing repository as an alternate will
\r
341 require less objects to be copied from the repository
\r
342 being cloned, reducing network and local storage costs.
\r
353 Operate quietly. This flag is passed to "rsync" and
\r
354 "git-clone-pack" commands when given.
\r
362 No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.
\r
370 Make a <em>bare</em> GIT repository. That is, instead of
\r
371 creating <tt><directory></tt> and placing the administrative
\r
372 files in <tt><directory>/.git</tt>, make the <tt><directory></tt>
\r
373 itself the <tt>$GIT_DIR</tt>. This implies <tt>-n</tt> option. When
\r
374 this option is used, neither the <tt>origin</tt> branch nor the
\r
375 default <tt>remotes/origin</tt> file is created.
\r
383 Instead of using the branch name <em>origin</em> to keep track
\r
384 of the upstream repository, use <name> instead. Note
\r
385 that the shorthand name stored in <tt>remotes/origin</tt> is
\r
386 not affected, but the local branch name to pull the
\r
387 remote <tt>master</tt> branch into is.
\r
391 --upload-pack <upload-pack>
\r
394 -u <upload-pack>
\r
398 When given, and the repository to clone from is handled
\r
399 by <em>git-clone-pack</em>, <em>--exec=<upload-pack></em> is passed to
\r
400 the command to specify non-default path for the command
\r
401 run on the other end.
\r
405 --template=<template_directory>
\r
409 Specify the directory from which templates will be used;
\r
410 if unset the templates are taken from the installation
\r
411 defined default, typically <tt>/usr/share/git-core/templates</tt>.
\r
419 The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. It can
\r
420 be any URL git-fetch supports.
\r
428 The name of a new directory to clone into. The "humanish"
\r
429 part of the source repository is used if no directory is
\r
430 explicitly given ("repo" for "/path/to/repo.git" and "foo"
\r
431 for "host.xz:foo/.git"). Cloning into an existing directory
