DESCRIPTION
-----------
--verbose::
-v::
- Run verbosely.
+ 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
configuration variables are created.
--mirror::
- Set up a mirror of the remote repository. This implies `--bare`.
+ 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>::
-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.
+ instead. `--branch` can also take tags and treat them like
+ detached HEAD. In a non-bare repository, this is the branch
+ that will be checked out.
--upload-pack <upload-pack>::
-u <upload-pack>::
--template=<template_directory>::
Specify the directory from which templates will be used;
- if unset the templates are taken from the installation
- defined default, typically `/usr/share/git-core/templates`.
+ (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit: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
+ linkgit: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
with a long history, and would want to send in fixes
as patches.
+--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.
+
--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
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,URLS>> section below for more information on specifying
