Clone a repository into a new directory

pijul clone [-h | --help] [-V | --version] [ --from-branch <from_branch> ] [ (-p | --port) <port> ] [ --to-branch <to_branch> ] <from> [to]

Clone a single branch of a remote repository, i.e. initialise a new repository, and apply all patches from a branch from the remote repository. This is equivalent to pijul init, followed by pijul pull.

From outside a repository:

pijul clone https://nest.pijul.com/pijul_org/pijul

• -h, --help

  Print a help message and exit.

• -V, --version

  Print the version of Pijul and exit.

• --from-branch <from-branch>

  Clone branch <from-branch> from the remote repository, instead of the default branch (which is "master").

• <from>

  A URI to clone. At the moment, only local paths, SSH paths (such as me@example.com:path/to/repository) and HTTP(S) URLs are supported.

• -p <port>, --port <port>

  If the repository is accessed over SSH, the port of the remote SSH server, defaulting to 22 (the standard SSH port).

• --to-branch <branch>

  Store this branch as <branch> instead of using the same name as the remote branch.

• [to]

  Path to the local directory where the repository will be cloned, defaulting to the current directory followed by the basename of the URI in .
