git packfiles no source code

Question

I am new to using git, and so apologize I'm missing something that should be obvious from the git book .

I would like to view the source code of a project after a git clone , but all git-clone does is download a .pack files in ./objects/pack . How do you extract a .pack into the source code files?

What is the output path of git unpack-objects ?

Answer 1

Unless your upstream repo (the one you are cloning) is empty, you should see the content of its default branch ( usually master, unless its symbolic-ref has set to point to am empty branch) in your working tree:

 git clone url/repoA
 cd repoA
 git branch # to see in which branch you are

Only git clone --bare would generate an empty working tree (since it would only create a git directory repoA.git, and no working tree at all).

您也可以尝试使用以下方法在主服务器上启动一个新的“ develop”分支：

git checkout develop
