git-clone

I have created a git repository to mirror a live site (which is a non-bare git repository): git clone --mirror ssh://user@example.com/path/to/repo Now, to keep this mirror clone updated with all changes from its remote origin, which command or commands I must use? I'd like to keep everything updated: commits, refs, hooks, branches, etc. Thanks! This is the command that you need to execute on the mirror: git remote update J. Bruni Regarding commits, refs, branches and " et cetera ", Magnus answer just works ( git remote update ). But unfortunately there is no way to clone / mirror / update the

I am trying to set up Bower on a build server at our organization's data center, but git 's port does not appear to be open on the data center's firewall. I can use the git command line client to clone via https://[repo] , but not git://[repo] . Is there a switch or preference which will instruct bower to perform git clone using https rather than the git protocol? I've looked at the source, and considered changing the resolution code to replace git:// with https:// , but I figured I'd ask before I go to those lengths. Sindre Sorhus You can make git replace the protocol for you. Just run: git

How do I clone my GitHub repository's wiki? I know it's saved as a separate Git repository, but I can't remember the path. I've tried ...reponame/wiki.git and ...reponame.git/wiki , but neither are correct. joseph.hainline Append .wiki.git to the repository name. That is, if your repository name was foobar : git clone git@github.com:myusername/foobar.git would be the path to clone your repository and git clone git@github.com:myusername/foobar.wiki.git would be the path to clone its wiki. The Wiki pages are managed as a repository. So click on your repository, then on the left side click on

From git-clone(1) Manual Page --branch can also take tags and detaches the HEAD at that commit in the resulting repository. I tried git clone --branch <tag_name> <repo_url> But it does not work. It returns: warning: Remote branch 2.13.0 not found in upstream origin, using HEAD instead How to use this parameter? git clone --branch <tag_name> <repo_url> This command is not supported in git 1.7.9.5. I use git 1.8.3.5 and it works Sahil kalra Use --single-branch option to only clone history leading to tip of the tag . This saves a lot of unnecessary code from being cloned. git clone <repo_url> -

There you'll find download links for all

I have a company GitHub account and I want to back up all of the repositories within, accounting for anything new that might get created for purposes of automation. I was hoping something like this: git clone git@github.com:company/*.git or similar would work, but it doesn't seem to like the wildcard there. Is there a way in Git to clone and then pull everything assuming one has the appropriate permissions? I don't think it's possible to do it that way. Your best bet is to find and loop through a list of an Organization's repositories using the API. Try this: Create an API token by going to

According to the manual, the post-checkout hook is run after a git checkout (just as expected) but also after a git clone (unless you pass --no-checkout ). Very well, now, considering the following: you don't have a local repository before a git clone hooks are not synced between remotes hooks stored in a custom template directory used with --template are copied non-executable and therefore not executed after git clone (that is actually not true as stated by Jefromi in his answer, but the hook is still not executed) It seems impossible that a post-checkout hook ever gets executed after a git
