CLONING A SPECIFIC GIT BRANCH


Posted on January 9, 2020January 9, 2020 by Gurmeet Singh

This is a detailed tutorial on cloning a specific git branch. Learn to duplicate
a single branch with git without any additional data from other branches.

HOW TO CLONE A SPECIFIC GIT BRANCH?

Sometimes, you might be wanted to clone just a single and particular git branch.
The default git clone command with --branch the option will actually clone the
complete git repository and will check out to the specific branch whose name is
followed by the --branch option. But the thing here is we do not want to even
the data of any other branch. The purpose here is to just clone a very specific
git branch and only the data associated with that specific branch.

The following command will solve this purpose. This command will only fetch the
branch whose name is mentioned in the command ignoring all other branches and
their data.


Python

git clone --single-branch --branch <branchname> <remote-repo-url>
1
git clone --single-branch --branch <branchname> <remote-repo-url>

The option --single-branch does the job of selecting the specific branch but
make sure that you can make use of this option in git version 1.7.10 and above.

Example. The following git command clones only the branch named revert-28-master
from the git URL https://github.com/abhat222/Data-Science--Cheat-Sheet.git


Python

git clone --single-branch --branch revert-28-master
https://github.com/abhat222/Data-Science--Cheat-Sheet.git
1
git clone --single-branch --branch revert-28-master
https://github.com/abhat222/Data-Science--Cheat-Sheet.git



For the older versions of git, you can use the following command(s) for the same
purpose of cloning only a particular branch.


Python

git init git remote add -t <branchname> -f origin <remote-repo-url> git checkout
<branchname>
1
2
3
git init
git remote add -t <branchname> -f origin <remote-repo-url>
git checkout <branchname>

Example. An example using the above set of commands to clone a specific git
branch, the branch master from another git repository URL.


Python

git remote add -t master -f origin https://github.com/google/eng-practices.git
1
git remote add -t master -f origin https://github.com/google/eng-practices.git




CLONING REPOSITORY AND CHECKING OUT TO A PARTICULAR BRANCH

You can also clone the entire repository and can checkout to a particular branch
directly with a single command. In case, just use the following git command.


Python

git clone --branch <branchname> <remote-repo-url>
1
git clone --branch <branchname> <remote-repo-url>

The difference is just not using the option --single-branch.

Note. Cloning the entire repository and then checking out to a particular branch
is not a good idea in case if you just want to work with that specific
particular branch and have nothing to do with the rest of the branches and their
data on the repository. But it’s a good idea in the case, for now, you just want
to checkout to a particular branch but later may require to switch to other
branches.



Example. The following command illustrates the use of the git clone command to
clone the entire repository and then checking out to pdmack-patch-1 branch.


Python

git clone --branch pdmack-patch-1 https://github.com/kubeflow/kubeflow.git
1
git clone --branch pdmack-patch-1 https://github.com/kubeflow/kubeflow.git

An example of the above command usage is shown in the screenshot given below.
