Yes, you can do this via remote_cb on git_clone_options: Create the remote in that callback using git_remote_create_with_fetchspec |

If I am not mistaken, now
git_clonecan only fetch each and every branch from the remote, in line with standardgit clone. Please correct me if I am wrong!It could be useful to implement a lighter clone: to be consistent with standard Git, I think one could implement the
--single-branchoption which fetches only the branch to checkout to. It could probably be a new field in thegit_clone_optionsstruct. Another way would be to expose fetch'srefspecsargument in thegit_clone_optionsstruct.Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
