无需克隆存储库即可获取 .git 目录

Question

I have a very large git repo which takes a while to clone. However I don't need the full repo, I instead want to examine the .git repo that gets generated. Is there a way I can get the .git folder for this repo without actually cloning it down?

Answer 1

I think you mean a bare clone

git clone --bare

It will create the clone without files and the root of the folder will have the contents of the .git folder.

See docs
