6 git-clone-pack - Clones a repository by receiving packed objects.
11 'git-clone-pack' [-q] [--keep] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<head>...]
15 Clones a repository into the current repository by invoking
16 'git-upload-pack', possibly on the remote host via ssh, in
17 the named repository, and invoking 'git-unpack-objects' locally
23 Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
24 cloning process less verbose.
27 Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
28 create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
29 in the object database.
31 --exec=<git-upload-pack>::
32 Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
33 remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH.
34 Installations of sshd ignore the user's environment
35 setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
36 your privately installed git may not be found on the system
37 default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
38 up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
39 who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
40 shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
41 the things up in .bash_profile).
44 A remote host that houses the repository. When this
45 part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
49 The repository to sync from.
52 The heads to update. This is relative to $GIT_DIR
53 (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified,
54 all heads are updated to match the remote repository.
