NAME
       git-clone - Clone a repository into a new directory

SYNOPSIS
       git clone [--template=<template_directory>]
                 [-l] [-s] [--no-hardlinks] [-q] [-n] [--bare] [--mirror]
                 [-o <name>] [-b <name>] [-u <upload-pack>] [--reference <repository>]
                 [--separate-git-dir <git dir>]
                 [--depth <depth>] [--[no-]single-branch]
                 [--recursive | --recurse-submodules] [--] <repository>
                 [<directory>]


DESCRIPTION
       Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch
       in the cloned repository (visible using git branch -r), and creates and checks out an initial branch
       that is forked from the cloned repository's currently active branch.

       After the clone, a plain git fetch without arguments will update all the remote-tracking branches,
       and a git pull without arguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into the current
       master branch, if any (this is untrue when "--single-branch" is given; see below).

       This default configuration is achieved by creating references to the remote branch heads under
       refs/remotes/origin and by initializing remote.origin.url and remote.origin.fetch configuration
       variables.

OPTIONS
       --local, -l
           When the repository to clone from is on a local machine, this flag bypasses the 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.

           If the repository is specified as a local path (e.g., /path/to/repo), this is the default, and
           --local is essentially a no-op. If the repository is specified as a URL, then this flag is
           ignored (and we never use the local optimizations). Specifying --no-local will override the
           default when /path/to/repo is given, using the regular Git transport instead.

           To force copying instead of hardlinking (which may be desirable if you are trying to make a
           back-up of your repository), but still avoid the usual "Git aware" transport mechanism,
           --no-hardlinks can be used.

       --no-hardlinks
           Optimize the cloning process from a repository on a local filesystem by copying files under
           .git/objects directory.

       --shared, -s
           When the repository to clone is on the local machine, instead of using hard links, automatically
           setup .git/objects/info/alternates to share the objects with the source repository. The resulting
           repository starts out without any object of its own.

           NOTE: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do not use it unless you understand what it does.
           If you clone your repository using this option and then delete branches (or use any other Git
           command that makes any existing commit unreferenced) in the source repository, some objects may
           become unreferenced (or dangling). These objects may be removed by normal Git operations (such as
           git commit) which automatically call git gc --auto. (See git-gc(1).) If these objects are removed
           and were referenced by the cloned repository, then the cloned repository will become corrupt.

           Note that running git repack without the -l option in a repository cloned with -s will copy
           objects from the source repository into a pack in the cloned repository, removing the disk space
           savings of clone -s. It is safe, however, to run git gc, which uses the -l option by default.

           If you want to break the dependency of a repository cloned with -s on its source repository, you
           can simply run git repack -a to copy all objects from the source repository into a pack in the
           cloned repository.

       --reference <repository>
           If the reference repository is on the local machine, automatically setup
           .git/objects/info/alternates to obtain objects from the reference repository. Using an already
           existing repository as an alternate will require fewer objects to be copied from the repository
           being cloned, reducing network and local storage costs.

           NOTE: see the NOTE for the --shared option.

       --quiet, -q
           Operate quietly. Progress is not reported to the standard error stream. This flag is also passed
           to the `rsync' command when given.

       --verbose, -v
           Run verbosely. Does not affect the reporting of progress status to the standard error stream.

       --progress
           Progress status is reported on the standard error stream by default when it is attached to a
           terminal, unless -q is specified. This flag forces progress status even if the standard error
           stream is not directed to a terminal.

       --no-checkout, -n
           No checkout of HEAD is performed after the clone is complete.

       --bare
           Make a bare Git repository. That is, instead of creating <directory> and placing the
           administrative files in <directory>/.git, make the <directory> itself the $GIT_DIR. This
           obviously implies the -n because there is nowhere to check out the working tree. Also the branch
           heads at the remote are copied directly to corresponding local branch heads, without mapping them
           to refs/remotes/origin/. When this option is used, neither remote-tracking branches nor the
           related configuration variables are created.

       --mirror
           Set up a mirror of the source repository. This implies --bare. Compared to --bare, --mirror not
           only maps local branches of the source to local branches of the target, it maps all refs
           (including remote-tracking branches, notes etc.) and sets up a refspec configuration such that
           all these refs are overwritten by a git remote update in the target repository.

       --origin <name>, -o <name>
           Instead of using the remote name origin to keep track of the upstream repository, use <name>.

       --branch <name>, -b <name>
           Instead of pointing the newly created HEAD to the branch pointed to by the cloned repository's
           HEAD, point to <name> branch instead. In a non-bare repository, this is the branch that will be
           checked out.  --branch can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting
           repository.

       --upload-pack <upload-pack>, -u <upload-pack>
           When given, and the repository to clone from is accessed via ssh, this specifies a non-default
           path for the command run on the other end.

       --template=<template_directory>
           Specify the directory from which templates will be used; (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of
           git-init(1).)

       --config <key>=<value>, -c <key>=<value>
           Set a configuration variable in the newly-created repository; this takes effect immediately after
           the repository is initialized, but before the remote history is fetched or any files checked out.
           The key is in the same format as expected by git-config(1) (e.g., core.eol=true). If multiple
           values are given for the same key, each value will be written to the config file. This makes it
           safe, for example, to add additional fetch refspecs to the origin remote.

       --depth <depth>
           Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified number of revisions. A shallow
           repository has a number of limitations (you cannot clone or fetch from it, nor push from nor into
           it), but is adequate if you are only interested in the recent history of a large project with a
           long history, and would want to send in fixes as patches.

       --[no-]single-branch
           Clone only the history leading to the tip of a single branch, either specified by the --branch
           option or the primary branch remote's HEAD points at. When creating a shallow clone with the
           --depth option, this is the default, unless --no-single-branch is given to fetch the histories
           near the tips of all branches. Further fetches into the resulting repository will only update the
           remote-tracking branch for the branch this option was used for the initial cloning. If the HEAD
           at the remote did not point at any branch when --single-branch clone was made, no remote-tracking
           branch is created.

       --recursive, --recurse-submodules
           After the clone is created, initialize all submodules within, using their default settings. This
           is equivalent to running git submodule update --init --recursive immediately after the clone is
           finished. This option is ignored if the cloned repository does not have a worktree/checkout (i.e.
           if any of --no-checkout/-n, --bare, or --mirror is given)

       --separate-git-dir=<git dir>
           Instead of placing the cloned repository where it is supposed to be, place the cloned repository
           at the specified directory, then make a filesytem-agnostic Git symbolic link to there. The result
           is Git repository can be separated from working tree.

       <repository>
           The (possibly remote) repository to clone from. See the URLS section below for more information
           on specifying repositories.

       <directory>
           The name of a new directory to clone into. The "humanish" part of the source repository is used
           if no directory is explicitly given (repo for /path/to/repo.git and foo for host.xz:foo/.git).
           Cloning into an existing directory is only allowed if the directory is empty.

GIT URLS
       In general, URLs contain information about the transport protocol, the address of the remote server,
       and the path to the repository. Depending on the transport protocol, some of this information may be
       absent.

       Git supports ssh, git, http, and https protocols (in addition, ftp, and ftps can be used for fetching
       and rsync can be used for fetching and pushing, but these are inefficient and deprecated; do not use
       them).

       The following syntaxes may be used with them:

       •   ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/

       •   git://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/

       •   http[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/

       •   ftp[s]://host.xz[:port]/path/to/repo.git/

       •   rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/

       An alternative scp-like syntax may also be used with the ssh protocol:

       •   [user@]host.xz:path/to/repo.git/

       The ssh and git protocols additionally support ~username expansion:

       •   ssh://[user@]host.xz[:port]/~[user]/path/to/repo.git/

       •   git://host.xz[:port]/~[user]/path/to/repo.git/

       •   [user@]host.xz:/~[user]/path/to/repo.git/

       For local repositories, also supported by Git natively, the following syntaxes may be used:

       •   /path/to/repo.git/

       •    file:///path/to/repo.git/

       These two syntaxes are mostly equivalent, except the former implies --local option.

       When Git doesn't know how to handle a certain transport protocol, it attempts to use the
       remote-<transport> remote helper, if one exists. To explicitly request a remote helper, the following
       syntax may be used:

       •   <transport>::<address>

       where <address> may be a path, a server and path, or an arbitrary URL-like string recognized by the
       specific remote helper being invoked. See gitremote-helpers(1) for details.

       If there are a large number of similarly-named remote repositories and you want to use a different
       format for them (such that the URLs you use will be rewritten into URLs that work), you can create a
       configuration section of the form:

                   [url "<actual url base>"]
                           insteadOf = <other url base>


       For example, with this:

                   [url "git://git.host.xz/"]
                           insteadOf = host.xz:/path/to/
                           insteadOf = work:


       a URL like "work:repo.git" or like "host.xz:/path/to/repo.git" will be rewritten in any context that
       takes a URL to be "git://git.host.xz/repo.git".

       If you want to rewrite URLs for push only, you can create a configuration section of the form:

                   [url "<actual url base>"]
                           pushInsteadOf = <other url base>


       For example, with this:

                   [url "ssh://example.org/"]
                           pushInsteadOf = git://example.org/


       a URL like "git://example.org/path/to/repo.git" will be rewritten to
       "ssh://example.org/path/to/repo.git" for pushes, but pulls will still use the original URL.

EXAMPLES
       •   Clone from upstream:

               $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.6 my2.6
               $ cd my2.6
               $ make


       •   Make a local clone that borrows from the current directory, without checking things out:

               $ git clone -l -s -n . ../copy
               $ cd ../copy
               $ git show-branch


       •   Clone from upstream while borrowing from an existing local directory:

               $ git clone --reference my2.6 \
                       git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/.../linux-2.7 \
                       my2.7
               $ cd my2.7


       •   Create a bare repository to publish your changes to the public:

               $ git clone --bare -l /home/proj/.git /pub/scm/proj.git


       •   Create a repository on the kernel.org machine that borrows from Linus:

               $ git clone --bare -l -s /pub/scm/.../torvalds/linux-2.6.git \
                   /pub/scm/.../me/subsys-2.6.git
