With git 2.8 (Q12016), you will be able to initiate the fetch of submodules… in parallel! See commit fbf7164 (16 Dec 2015) by Jonathan Nieder (artagnon). See commit 62104ba, commit fe85ee6, commit c553c72, commit bfb6b53, commit b4e04fb, commit 1079c4b (16 Dec 2015) by Stefan Beller (stefanbeller). (Merged by Junio C Hamano — gitster — in … Read more
You could write a setup script, e.g. setuphooks.sh, that pulls down the hook scripts and installs them in the right places. It shouldn’t be hard to write, as curl could do most of the work. Or you could just include the hooks in the repo in a normal folder like .hooks, and copy them all … Read more
I found out how it can be done. The trick is not to use git svn clone. Instead, use git svn init and git svn fetch individually. Modified the example: URL=http://google-web-toolkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ REV=`svn info $URL |grep Revision: | awk ‘{print $2}’` PROJECT_FOLDER=google-web-toolkit-readonly mkdir $PROJECT_FOLDER cd !$ #goes into dir named $PROJECT_FOLDER git svn init -s $URL … Read more
Not really. There are various stages to git clone: discover the objects that need to be sent (“Counting objects: nnn”) compress and send those objects index the received pack check out received files Stage 1 involves walking through the commit graph from each branch head finding all the commits and associated objects: since there is … Read more
This particular git repository seems to not have any contents on its master branch, which is the branch git checks out by default. It does however have another branch: % git branch -a * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/android-msm-2.6.35 remotes/origin/master So if you check out this branch: % git checkout android-msm-2.6.35 Checking out files: 100% … Read more
The repository is accessible via the http protocol (aka dumb protocol) here: http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/core.git. You can download everything here with wget or another download manager, and you’ll have a clone of the repository. After that, you rename the directory from core.git to .git, and use the following command to tell git about the remote url: $ … Read more
In git you can define “filters” that affect the process of moving files from the index to the work tree (“smudge” filters) and from the work tree to the index (“clean” filters). Typically you’ll find a .gitattribute file that associates the filters with files at specific paths. It used to be that this was always … Read more
It is not necessary to make the original repository the “origin” remote to clone the master branch. On the new machine, create a new repository: git init foo Then pull the old repository into the new one, without creating a remote: cd foo git pull <reference to old repository> However, it should be noted that … Read more
This is how almost solved for myself: git clone https://myrepo.com/folder.git && \ git clone https://myrepo.com/folder2.git && \ git clone https://myrepo.com/folder3.git This is way easier to build using a code editor like Sublime or VSCode. The only downside for me: If you did not store your credentials, you’re gonna have to type it over and over.
The default options for git fetch (and consequently git pull) do not prune deleted remote branches. I’m not sure what the logic behind this default is. In any case, to prune deleted remote branches, either fetch with git fetch -p or run git remote prune [-n] <name> explicitly. With the -n flag, it will report … Read more
