Create clone command with no repository set

Method Detail

call

public Git call()
         throws GitAPIException,
                InvalidRemoteException,
                TransportException

Execute the command

Executes the Clone command. The Git instance returned by this command needs to be closed by the caller to free resources held by the underlying Repository instance. It is recommended to call this method as soon as you don't need a reference to this Git instance and the underlying Repository instance anymore.

Specified by:

call in interface Callable<Git>

Specified by:

call in class GitCommand<Git>

Throws:

GitAPIException

InvalidRemoteException

TransportException

setURI

public CloneCommand setURI(String uri)

Set the URI to clone from

Parameters:

uri - the URI to clone from, or null to unset the URI. The URI must be set before call() is called.

Returns:

this instance

setDirectory

public CloneCommand setDirectory(File directory)

The optional directory associated with the clone operation. If the directory isn't set, a name associated with the source uri will be used.

Parameters:

directory - the directory to clone to, or null if the directory name should be taken from the source uri

Returns:

this instance

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the combination of directory, gitDir and bare is illegal. E.g. if for a non-bare repository directory and gitDir point to the same directory of if for a bare repository both directory and gitDir are specified

URIish.getHumanishName()

setGitDir

public CloneCommand setGitDir(File gitDir)

Set the repository meta directory (.git)

Parameters:

gitDir - the repository meta directory, or null to choose one automatically at clone time

Returns:

this instance

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the combination of directory, gitDir and bare is illegal. E.g. if for a non-bare repository directory and gitDir point to the same directory of if for a bare repository both directory and gitDir are specified

Since:

3.6

setBare

public CloneCommand setBare(boolean bare)
                     throws IllegalStateException

Set whether the cloned repository shall be bare

Parameters:

bare - whether the cloned repository is bare or not

Returns:

this instance

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the combination of directory, gitDir and bare is illegal. E.g. if for a non-bare repository directory and gitDir point to the same directory of if for a bare repository both directory and gitDir are specified

setFs

public CloneCommand setFs(FS fs)

Set the file system abstraction to be used for repositories created by this command.

Parameters:

fs - the abstraction.

Returns:

this (for chaining calls).

Since:

4.10

setRemote

public CloneCommand setRemote(String remote)

The remote name used to keep track of the upstream repository for the clone operation. If no remote name is set, the default value of Constants.DEFAULT_REMOTE_NAME will be used.

Parameters:

remote - name that keeps track of the upstream repository. null means to use DEFAULT_REMOTE_NAME.

Returns:

this instance

See Also:

Constants.DEFAULT_REMOTE_NAME

setBranch

public CloneCommand setBranch(String branch)

Set the initial branch

Parameters:

branch - the initial branch to check out when cloning the repository. Can be specified as ref name (refs/heads/master), branch name (master) or tag name (v1.2.3). The default is to use the branch pointed to by the cloned repository's HEAD and can be requested by passing null or HEAD.

Returns:

this instance

setProgressMonitor

public CloneCommand setProgressMonitor(ProgressMonitor monitor)

The progress monitor associated with the clone operation. By default, this is set to NullProgressMonitor

Parameters:

monitor - a ProgressMonitor

Returns:

this

See Also:

NullProgressMonitor

setCloneAllBranches

public CloneCommand setCloneAllBranches(boolean cloneAllBranches)

Set whether all branches have to be fetched.

If false, use setBranchesToClone(Collection) to define what will be cloned. If neither are set, all branches will be cloned.

Parameters:

cloneAllBranches - true when all branches have to be fetched (indicates wildcard in created fetch refspec), false otherwise.

Returns:

this

setCloneSubmodules

public CloneCommand setCloneSubmodules(boolean cloneSubmodules)

Set whether to clone submodules

Parameters:

cloneSubmodules - true to initialize and update submodules. Ignored when setBare(boolean) is set to true.

Returns:

this

setBranchesToClone

public CloneCommand setBranchesToClone(Collection<String> branchesToClone)

Set the branches or tags to clone.

This is ignored if setCloneAllBranches(true) is used. If branchesToClone is null or empty, it's also ignored and all branches will be cloned.

Parameters:

branchesToClone - collection of branches to clone. Must be specified as full ref names (e.g. refs/heads/master or refs/tags/v1.0.0).

Returns:

this

setNoCheckout

public CloneCommand setNoCheckout(boolean noCheckout)

Set whether to skip checking out a branch

Parameters:

noCheckout - if set to true no branch will be checked out after the clone. This enhances performance of the clone command when there is no need for a checked out branch.

Returns:

this

setCallback
