git clone

Clone an existing repository. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone.

• Clone an existing repository:

git clone {{remote_repository_location}}

• Clone an existing repository and its submodules:

git clone --recursive {{remote_repository_location}}

• Clone a local repository:

git clone -l {{path/to/local/repository}}

• Clone quietly:

git clone -q {{remote_repository_location}}

• Clone an existing repository only fetching the 10 most recent commits on the default branch (useful to save time):

git clone --depth {{10}} {{remote_repository_location}}
