| ================= |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-clone-pack - Clones a repository by receiving packed objects. |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-clone-pack' [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Clones a repository into the current repository by invoking |
| 'git-upload-pack', possibly on the remote host via ssh, in |
| the named repository, and stores the sent pack in the local |
| repository. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: |
| Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the |
| remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. |
| Installations of sshd ignore the user's environment |
| setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and |
| your privately installed git may not be found on the system |
| default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set |
| up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people |
| who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive |
| shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of |
| the things up in .bash_profile). |
| |
| <host>:: |
| A remote host that houses the repository. When this |
| part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via |
| ssh. |
| |
| <directory>:: |
| The repository to sync from. |
| |
| <head>...:: |
| The heads to update. This is relative to $GIT_DIR |
| (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified, |
| all heads are updated to match the remote repository. |
| + |
| Usually all the refs from existing repository are stored |
| under the same name in the new repository. Giving explicit |
| <head> arguments instead writes the object names and refs to |
| the standard output, just like get-fetch-pack does. |
