stg-clone(1) Manual Page

Clone a GIT <repository> into the local <dir> (using gitlink:git-clone[1]) and initialise the resulting "master" branch as a patch stack.

This operation is for example suitable to start working using the "tracking branch" workflow (see gitlink:stg[1]). Other means to setup an StGIT stack are stglink:init[] and the --create and --clone commands of stglink:branch[].

The target directory named by <dir> will be created by this command, and must not exist beforehand.

Part of the StGIT suite - see gitlink:stg[1].
