 768 <div class="paragraph"><p>Clones a repository into a newly created directory, creates
 769 remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository
 770 (visible using <code>git branch --remotes</code>), and creates and checks out an
 771 initial branch that is forked from the cloned repository&#8217;s
 772 currently active branch.</p></div>
 773 <div class="paragraph"><p>After the clone, a plain <code>git fetch</code> without arguments will update
 774 all the remote-tracking branches, and a <code>git pull</code> without
 775 arguments will in addition merge the remote master branch into the
 776 current master branch, if any (this is untrue when "--single-branch"
 777 is given; see below).</p></div>
 778 <div class="paragraph"><p>This default configuration is achieved by creating references to
 779 the remote branch heads under <code>refs/remotes/origin</code> and
 780 by initializing <code>remote.origin.url</code> and <code>remote.origin.fetch</code>
 781 configuration variables.</p></div>

 794 <dd>
 795 <p>
 796         When the repository to clone from is on a local machine,
 797         this flag bypasses the normal "Git aware" transport
 798         mechanism and clones the repository by making a copy of
 799         HEAD and everything under objects and refs directories.
 800         The files under <code>.git/objects/</code> directory are hardlinked
 801         to save space when possible.
 802 </p>
 803 <div class="paragraph"><p>If the repository is specified as a local path (e.g., <code>/path/to/repo</code>),
 804 this is the default, and --local is essentially a no-op.  If the
 805 repository is specified as a URL, then this flag is ignored (and we
 806 never use the local optimizations).  Specifying <code>--no-local</code> will
 807 override the default when <code>/path/to/repo</code> is given, using the regular
 808 Git transport instead.</p></div>
 809 <div class="paragraph"><p><strong>NOTE</strong>: this operation can race with concurrent modification to the
 810 source repository, similar to running <code>cp -r src dst</code> while modifying
 811 <code>src</code>.</p></div>

 817 <p>
 818         Force the cloning process from a repository on a local
 819         filesystem to copy the files under the <code>.git/objects</code>
 820         directory instead of using hardlinks. This may be desirable
 821         if you are trying to make a back-up of your repository.

 830 <dd>
 831 <p>
 832         When the repository to clone is on the local machine,
 833         instead of using hard links, automatically setup
 834         <code>.git/objects/info/alternates</code> to share the objects
 835         with the source repository.  The resulting repository
 836         starts out without any object of its own.
 837 </p>
 838 <div class="paragraph"><p><strong>NOTE</strong>: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do <strong>not</strong> use
 839 it unless you understand what it does. If you clone your
 840 repository using this option and then delete branches (or use any
 841 other Git command that makes any existing commit unreferenced) in the
 842 source repository, some objects may become unreferenced (or dangling).
 843 These objects may be removed by normal Git operations (such as <code>git commit</code>)
 844 which automatically call <code>git maintenance run --auto</code>. (See
 845 <a href="git-maintenance.html">git-maintenance(1)</a>.) If these objects are removed and were referenced
 846 by the cloned repository, then the cloned repository will become corrupt.</p></div>
 847 <div class="paragraph"><p>Note that running <code>git repack</code> without the <code>--local</code> option in a repository
 848 cloned with <code>--shared</code> will copy objects from the source repository into a pack
 849 in the cloned repository, removing the disk space savings of <code>clone --shared</code>.
 850 It is safe, however, to run <code>git gc</code>, which uses the <code>--local</code> option by
 851 default.</p></div>
 852 <div class="paragraph"><p>If you want to break the dependency of a repository cloned with <code>--shared</code> on
 853 its source repository, you can simply run <code>git repack -a</code> to copy all
 854 objects from the source repository into a pack in the cloned repository.</p></div>

 861         If the reference repository is on the local machine,
 862         automatically setup <code>.git/objects/info/alternates</code> to
 863         obtain objects from the reference repository.  Using
 864         an already existing repository as an alternate will
 865         require fewer objects to be copied from the repository
 866         being cloned, reducing network and local storage costs.
 867         When using the <code>--reference-if-able</code>, a non existing
 868         directory is skipped with a warning instead of aborting
 869         the clone.

 879         Borrow the objects from reference repositories specified
 880         with the <code>--reference</code> options only to reduce network
 881         transfer, and stop borrowing from them after a clone is made
 882         by making necessary local copies of borrowed objects.  This
 883         option can also be used when cloning locally from a
 884         repository that already borrows objects from another
 885         repository&#8212;the new repository will borrow objects from the
 886         same repository, and this option can be used to stop the
 887         borrowing.
