git-clone

Clone a git repository via git shell command.

Installation

Install:

$ npm install git-clone

To use the original callback-based API:

const clone = require('git-clone');

As of 0.2.0 there's a promised-based API for use with async/await:

const clone = require('git-clone/promise');

API

Common Options

• git: path to git binary; default: git (expected to be in your $PATH)
• shallow: when true, clone with depth 1
• checkout: revision/branch/tag to check out after clone
• args: additional array of arguments to pass to git clone

Callback

clone(repo, targetPath, [options], cb)

Clone repo to targetPath, calling cb on completion; any error that occurred will be passed as the first argument. If no error is passed the git clone operation was successful.

Promise

async clone(repo, targetPath, [options])

Clone repo to targetPath, throwing an exception on failure.
