| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-clone-pack - Clones a repository by receiving packed objects. | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git-clone-pack' [-q] [--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 invoking 'git-unpack-objects' locally | |
| to receive the pack. | |
| OPTIONS | |
| ------- | |
| -q:: | |
| Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the | |
| cloning process less verbose. | |
| --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: | |
| Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the | |
| remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. | |
| Installations of sshd ignores 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. | |
