[Question] Usercase about git clone

Wang Shilong· Jan 17, 2014, 15:53 UTC · lore

Hello everyone,

I have a question about command 'git clone' If i clone a repo from remote, and if i run command:

# git remote show origin

It will output origin's url, however, this is what i want, i just want to clone codes, but keep everything else unchanged, for example branches and they url….

How can i implement such functions by 'git clone'….I think this is really helpful because i really don't want to reset my branches' url every one…

Really thanks for your time and response!

Thanks, Wang

Is it really what you want or not?

There are urls for remote not for branches. Did you look at the --mirror option? Do you want something like the mirror option but with a working directory?

Again there are no urls for branches.

Could you explain better what you would like exactly?

Best, Christian.
