Git clone 命令

Git clone 命令參數：

使用命令：git  clone -help

$ git clone -help
usage: git clone [options] [--] <repo> [<dir>]

    -v, --verbose         be more verbose
    -q, --quiet           be more quiet
    --progress            force progress reporting
    -n, --no-checkout     don't create a checkout
    --bare                create a bare repository
    --mirror              create a mirror repository (implies bare)
    -l, --local           to clone from a local repository
    --no-hardlinks        don't use local hardlinks, always copy
    -s, --shared          setup as shared repository
    --recursive           initialize submodules in the clone
    --recurse-submodules  initialize submodules in the clone
    --template <template-directory>
                          directory from which templates will be used
    --reference <repo>    reference repository
    -o, --origin <name>   use <name> instead of 'origin' to track upstream
    -b, --branch <branch>
                          checkout <branch> instead of the remote's HEAD
    -u, --upload-pack <path>
                          path to git-upload-pack on the remote
    --depth <depth>       create a shallow clone of that depth
    --single-branch       clone only one branch, HEAD or --branch
    --separate-git-dir <gitdir>
                          separate git dir from working tree
    -c, --config <key=value>
                          set config inside the new repository

參數挺多，但常用的就幾個：

1. 最簡單直接的命令

git clone xxx.git

2. 如果想clone到指定目錄

git clone xxx.git "指定目錄"

3. clone時創建新的分支替代默認Origin HEAD（master）

git clone -b [new_branch_name]  xxx.git

clone 遠程github中的分支

git clone -b release_branch https://github.com/jetty/

例如：git clone -b ArduCopter-stable https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot

4. clone 遠程分支

　　git clone 命令默認的只會建立master分支，如果你想clone指定的某一遠程分支(如：dev)的話，可以如下：

　　A. 查看所有分支(包括隱藏的)  git branch -a 顯示所有分支，如：　　　　

* master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/dev
  remotes/origin/master

　　B.  在本地新建同名的("dev")分支，並切換到該分支

git checkout -t origin/dev 該命令等同於：
git checkout -b dev origin/dev
