Change Git branch on SSH remote before cloning
I am trying to clone a repo from an SSH remote like this:
git clone "ssh://user@project.example.com/var/www/git/www"
This works OK but using this command I am actually cloning the "master" branch of the repo, but instead I want to clone another branch which is called "dev2".
How do I achieve that?
after git clone.
you can just
git branch --track dev2 origin/dev2
git checkout dev2
to change your branch to dev2 easily.
or a short cut
git clone -b dev2 "ssh://user@project.example.com/var/www/git/www"
with git you generally clone complete repositories (all branches). if you want to clone only a single branch and never get any other branches use the following commands:
git init project
cd project
git remote add -f -t dev2 origin 'ssh://user@project.example.com/var/www/git/www'
git checkout -b dev2 origin/dev2
