NAME

gbp-clone - Clone a repository from remote

SYNOPSIS

gbp clone [ --version ] [ --help ] [ --verbose ] [ --color=[auto|on|off] ] [ --color-scheme= COLOR_SCHEME ] [ --all ] [ --[no-]pristine-tar ] [ --debian-branch=branch_name ] [ --upstream-branch=branch_name ] [ --depth=depth ] [ --reference=repository ] [ --postclone=COMMAND ] [ --[no-]hooks ] repository [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

gbp clone clones a remote repository and sets up tracking branches for the debian, upstream and pristine-tar branches. This way you can easily update later using gbp pull.

OPTIONS

--version
Print version of the program, i.e. version of the git-buildpackage suite
-v
--verbose
Verbose execution
-h
--help
Print help and exit
--color=[auto|on|off]
Whether to use colored output.
--color-scheme=COLOR_SCHEME
Colors to use in output (when color is enabled). The format for COLOR_SCHEME is '<debug>:<info>:<warning>:<error>'. Numerical values and color names are accepted, empty fields imply the default color. For example, --git-color-scheme='cyan:34::' would show debug messages in cyan, info messages in blue and other messages in default (i.e. warning and error messages in red).
--all
Track all branches, not only debian and upstream.
--debian-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the Debian package is being developed on, default is master.
--upstream-branch=branch_name
The branch in the Git repository the upstream sources are put onto. Default is upstream.
--depth=depth
Git history depth, for creating shallow git clones.
--reference=repository
Local repository to use as alternate instead of re-copying data from remote repository.
--pristine-tar
Track pristine tar branch.
--[no-]hooks
Enable running hooks.
--postclone=COMMAND
Execute COMMAND after cloning the source from the remote.
Exported environment variables are: GBP_GIT_DIR (the repository the package is being built from).
Note that if you clone a repository that contains a hook configuration in debian/gbp.conf this hook will not be run automatically to prevent execution of untrusted code.
repository
The (possibly remote) repository to clone from.
directory
The directory to clone to.

EXAMPLES

Clone a repository and setup a tracking branch for pristine-tar as well: 
       gbp clone --pristine-tar git://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/git-buildpackage.git

CONFIGURATION FILES

Several gbp.conf files are parsed to set defaults for the above command-line arguments. See the gbp.conf(5)> manpage for details.
