Clone only one branch

 

This question already has an answer here:

  • How to clone a single branch in git? 13 answers

    • From the announcement Git 1.7.10 (April 2012):

  • git clone learned --single-branch option to limit cloning to a single branch (surprise!); tags that do not point into the history of the branch are not fetched.

    • Git actually allows you to clone only one branch, for example: 

    git clone -b mybranch --single-branch git://sub.domain.com/repo.git

    Note : Also you can add another single branch or "undo" this action.

    You could create a new repo with 

    git init

    and then use 

    git fetch url-to-repo branchname:refs/remotes/origin/branchname

    to fetch just that one branch into a local remote-tracking branch.

    “ --single-branch ” switch is your answer, but it only works if you have git version 1.8.X onwards, first check 

    #git --version

    If you already have git version 1.8.X installed then simply use "-b branch and --single branch" to clone a single branch 

    #git clone -b branch --single-branch git://github/repository.git

    By default in Ubuntu 12.04/12.10/13.10 and Debian 7 the default git installation is for version 1.7.x only, where --single-branch is an unknown switch. In that case you need to install newer git first from a non-default ppa as below. 

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdoes/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git --version

    Once 1.8.X is installed now simply do: 

    git clone -b branch --single-branch git://github/repository.git

    Git will now only download a single branch from the server.
