Subject: git clone --update ?
Date: Fri, 7 Jan 2011 17:54:05 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110107225405.GH20411@chaosreigns.com> (raw)
I'm working on a build script that pulls source from 12 git repos:
http://www.chaosreigns.com/wayland/wayland-build-ubuntu-all.sh
I would like to be able to do the equivalent of:
rm -rf gtk+; git clone git://git.gnome.org/gtk+ --branch gdk-backend-wayland
Without re-downloading the entire thing. Even if I made any kind of
modifications to the repo.
One suggestion I've gotten was;
git checkout gdk-backend-wayland && git fetch git://git.gnome.org/gtk+ gdk-backend-wayland && git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD && git clean -fxd
Possibly replacing the branch name with HEAD if I want the default branch.
It would be nice if, instead, I could just run something like:
git clone --update git://git.gnome.org/gtk+ --branch gdk-backend-wayland
Bonus points for working if I have not already cloned it.
