</h2>
767 <div class=
"sectionbody">
768 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Scalar is a repository management tool that optimizes Git for use in large
769 repositories. Scalar improves performance by configuring advanced Git settings,
770 maintaining repositories in the background, and helping to reduce data sent
771 across the network.
</p></div>
772 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>An important Scalar concept is the enlistment: this is the top-level directory
773 of the project. It usually contains the subdirectory
<code>src/
</code> which is a Git
774 worktree. This encourages the separation between tracked files (inside
<code>src/
</code>)
775 and untracked files, such as build artifacts (outside
<code>src/
</code>). When registering
776 an existing Git worktree with Scalar whose name is not
<code>src
</code>, the enlistment
777 will be identical to the worktree.
</p></div>
778 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The
<code>scalar
</code> command implements various subcommands, and different options
779 depending on the subcommand. With the exception of
<code>clone
</code>,
<code>list
</code> and
780 <code>reconfigure --all
</code>, all subcommands expect to be run in an enlistment.
</p></div>
781 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The following options can be specified
<em>before
</em> the subcommand:
</p></div>
782 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
788 Before running the subcommand, change the working directory. This
789 option imitates the same option of
<a href=
"git.html">git(
1)
</a>.
793 -c
<key
>=
<value
>
797 For the duration of running the specified subcommand, configure this
798 setting. This option imitates the same option of
<a href=
"git.html">git(
1)
</a>.
805 <h2 id=
"_commands">COMMANDS
</h2>
806 <div class=
"sectionbody">
808 <h3 id=
"_clone">Clone
</h3>
809 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
811 clone [
<options
>]
<url
> [
<enlistment
>]
815 Clones the specified repository, similar to
<a href=
"git-clone.html">git-clone(
1)
</a>. By
816 default, only commit and tree objects are cloned. Once finished, the
817 worktree is located at
<code><enlistment
>/src
</code>.
819 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The sparse-checkout feature is enabled (except when run with
<code>--full-clone
</code>)
820 and the only files present are those in the top-level directory. Use
821 <code>git sparse-checkout set
</code> to expand the set of directories you want to see,
822 or
<code>git sparse-checkout disable
</code> to expand to all files (see
823 <a href=
"git-sparse-checkout.html">git-sparse-checkout(
1)
</a> for more details). You can explore the
824 subdirectories outside your sparse-checkout by using
<code>git ls-tree
825 HEAD[:
<directory
>]
</code>.
</p></div>
831 --branch
<name
>
835 Instead of checking out the branch pointed to by the cloned
836 repository
’s HEAD, check out the
<code><name
></code> branch instead.
844 Clone only the history leading to the tip of a single branch, either
845 specified by the
<code>--branch
</code> option or the primary branch remote
’s
846 <code>HEAD
</code> points at.
848 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Further fetches into the resulting repository will only update the
849 remote-tracking branch for the branch this option was used for the initial
850 cloning. If the HEAD at the remote did not point at any branch when
851 <code>--single-branch
</code> clone was made, no remote-tracking branch is created.
</p></div>
858 By default,
<code>scalar clone
</code> places the cloned repository within a
859 <code><entlistment
>/src
</code> directory. Use
<code>--no-src
</code> to place the cloned
860 repository directly in the
<code><enlistment
></code> directory.
868 A sparse-checkout is initialized by default. This behavior can be
869 turned off via
<code>--full-clone
</code>.
875 <h3 id=
"_list">List
</h3>
876 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
882 List enlistments that are currently registered by Scalar. This
883 subcommand does not need to be run inside an enlistment.
889 <h3 id=
"_register">Register
</h3>
890 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
892 register [
<enlistment
>]
896 Adds the enlistment
’s repository to the list of registered repositories
897 and starts background maintenance. If
<code><enlistment
></code> is not provided,
898 then the enlistment associated with the current working directory is
901 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>Note: when this subcommand is called in a worktree that is called
<code>src/
</code>, its
902 parent directory is considered to be the Scalar enlistment. If the worktree is
903 <em>not
</em> called
<code>src/
</code>, it itself will be considered to be the Scalar enlistment.
</p></div>
908 <h3 id=
"_unregister">Unregister
</h3>
909 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
911 unregister [
<enlistment
>]
915 Remove the specified repository from the list of repositories
916 registered with Scalar and stop the scheduled background maintenance.
922 <h3 id=
"_run">Run
</h3>
923 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
925 scalar run ( all | config | commit-graph | fetch | loose-objects | pack-files ) [
<enlistment
>]
929 Run the given maintenance task (or all tasks, if
<code>all
</code> was specified).
930 Except for
<code>all
</code> and
<code>config
</code>, this subcommand simply hands off to
931 <a href=
"git-maintenance.html">git-maintenance(
1)
</a> (mapping
<code>fetch
</code> to
<code>prefetch
</code> and
932 <code>pack-files
</code> to
<code>incremental-repack
</code>).
934 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>These tasks are run automatically as part of the scheduled maintenance,
935 as soon as the repository is registered with Scalar. It should therefore
936 not be necessary to run this subcommand manually.
</p></div>
937 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The
<code>config
</code> task is specific to Scalar and configures all those
938 opinionated default settings that make Git work more efficiently with
939 large repositories. As this task is run as part of
<code>scalar clone
</code>
940 automatically, explicit invocations of this task are rarely needed.
</p></div>
945 <h3 id=
"_reconfigure">Reconfigure
</h3>
946 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>After a Scalar upgrade, or when the configuration of a Scalar enlistment
947 was somehow corrupted or changed by mistake, this subcommand allows to
948 reconfigure the enlistment.
</p></div>
949 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>With the
<code>--all
</code> option, all enlistments currently registered with Scalar
950 will be reconfigured. Use this option after each Scalar upgrade.
</p></div>
953 <h3 id=
"_diagnose">Diagnose
</h3>
954 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
956 diagnose [
<enlistment
>]
960 When reporting issues with Scalar, it is often helpful to provide the
961 information gathered by this command, including logs and certain
962 statistics describing the data shape of the current enlistment.
964 <div class=
"paragraph"><p>The output of this command is a
<code>.zip
</code> file that is written into
965 a directory adjacent to the worktree in the
<code>src
</code> directory.
</p></div>
970 <h3 id=
"_delete">Delete
</h3>
971 <div class=
"dlist"><dl>
973 delete
<enlistment
>
977 This subcommand lets you delete an existing Scalar enlistment from your
978 local file system, unregistering the repository.
