STG−CLONE

NAME

stg-clone − stgdesc:clone[]

SYNOPSIS

stg clone <repository> <dir>

DESCRIPTION

Clone a GIT <repository> into the local <dir> (using git1[1]) and initialise the resulting "master" branch as a patch stack.

This operation is for example suitable to start working using the "tracking branch" workflow (see git1[2]). Other means to setup an StGIT stack are stginit and the −−create and −−clone commands of stgbranch.

The target directory named by <dir> will be created by this command, and must not exist beforehand.

STGIT

Part of the StGIT suite − see git1[2].
