glab-repo-clone1

Usage

Overview

Clone a GitLab repository to your local machine. Specify the repository by name, namespace/repo path, full URL, or project ID.

The command uses your configured protocol (SSH or HTTPS).

To pass Git clone flags, add them after --. For example: glab repo clone <repo> -- --branch <branch-name>

When you clone a fork you own, the command adds an upstream remote that points to the parent project.

Use --wiki to clone the wiki repository associated with a project.

Options

-g, --group=""
Specify the group to clone repositories from.

-p, --preserve-namespace[=false]
Clone the repository in a subdirectory based on namespace.

--active[=false]
Limit by project status. When true, returns active projects. When false, returns projects that are archived or marked for deletion. Used with the --group flag.

-a, --archived[=false]
Limit by archived status. Use with '-a=false' to exclude archived repositories. Used with the --group flag.

-G, --include-subgroups[=true]
Include projects in subgroups of this group. Default is true. Used with the --group flag.

--exclude-subgroup=[]
Skip projects in this subgroup, as a path relative to the group, not a numeric ID. Repeat the flag, or separate values with commas, to skip more than one. Projects shared from other namespaces are not affected. Used with the --group flag.

-m, --mine[=false]
Limit by projects in the group owned by the current authenticated user. Used with the --group flag.

-v, --visibility=""
Limit by visibility: public, internal, private. Used with the --group flag.

Limit by projects with the issues feature enabled. Default is false. Used with the --group flag.

-M, --with-mr-enabled[=false]
Limit by projects with the merge request feature enabled. Default is false. Used with the --group flag.

-S, --with-shared[=true]
Include projects shared to this group. Default is true. Used with the --group flag.

--paginate[=false]
Make additional HTTP requests to fetch all pages of projects before cloning. Respects --per-page.

--page=1
Page number.

--per-page=30
