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 ``` ## Christian Couder, 2014-01-19 14:44 Subject: Re: [Question] Usercase about git clone Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAP8UFD2w%3DUpMFXMsT58GbMVZWQ-yANjhL-VEitN4u-HJsttwDA%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, On Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 4:53 PM, Wang Shilong wrote: > 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, Is it really what you want or not? > i just want to clone > codes, but keep everything else unchanged, for example branches and > they url…. 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? > 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… Again there are no urls for branches. Could you explain better what you would like exactly? Best, Christian. ```
