πŸ’… STG-CLONE(1) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the StGit Manual ✨ this one's about stg-clone β€” yes it's a real page, it's in the StGit manual, and it's lowkey iconic πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

stg-clone β€” make a local clone of a remote repository 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stg clone <repository> <dir>

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So what it does is: it clones a git repository into the local directory <dir> β€” and yeah, it's doing that using stg-clone(1) β€” and then it initialises the local branch master πŸ‘‘

This operation is, for example, suitable to start working using the "tracking branch" workflow (see [1]). This is not the only way to set up an StGit stack, jsyk β€” the other means are stg-init(1) and the --create and --clone commands of stg-branch(1) 🌈 so pick your fighter.

⚠️ real talk: the target directory <dir> will be created by this command, and it must not already exist. Like, if it's already there, that's a no. Not the vibe. πŸ’€

πŸ‘‘ STGIT πŸ‘‘

Part of the StGit suite β€” see stg(1) πŸ’œ
