grgit-clone

Name

grgit-clone - Clone a repository into a new directory

Synopsis

Grgit.clone(dir: <path>, uri: <path or uri>, remote: <name>, all: <boolean>,
  bare: <boolean>, branches: <full refs>, checkout: <boolean>,
  refToCheckout: <name>, depth: <integer>, credentials: <credentials>)
Grgit.clone {
  dir = <path>
  uri = <path or uri>
  remote = <name>
  all = <boolean>
  bare = <boolean>
  branches = <full refs>
  checkout = <boolean>
  refToCheckout = <name>
  depth = <integer>
  credentials = <credentials>
}

Description

Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository, and creates and checks out an initial branch that is forked from the cloned repository’s currently active branch.

After the clone, a plain grgit-fetch without arguments will update all the remote-tracking branches, and a grgit-pull without arguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into the current master branch.

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.

Returns a Grgit instance.

Options

dir

(Object, default null) The directory the repository should be cloned into. Can be a File, Path, or String.

uri

(String, default null) The URI to the repository to be cloned.

remote

(String, default origin) Instead of using the remote name origin to keep track of the upstream repository, use <name>.

all

(boolean, default false) Clone all branches.

bare

(boolean, default false) Create a bare repository.

branches

(List<String>, []) Select full refs to use with all = false.

checkout

(boolean, default true) Set to false to skip checking out a HEAD.

refToCheckout

(String, default null) 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. This can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting repository.

depth

(Integer, default null) If set, does a shallow clone to the specified depth

credentials

(Credentials, default null) An instance of Credentials containing username/password to be used in operations that require authentication. See grgit-authentication for preferred ways to configure this.
