GIT-LFS-CLONE(1)					      GIT-LFS-CLONE(1)

NAME
       git-lfs-clone - Efficiently clone a LFS-enabled repository

SYNOPSIS
       git lfs clone [git clone	options] <repository> [<directory>]

DESCRIPTION
       Clone an	LFS enabled Git	repository more	efficiently by disabling LFS
       during the git clone, then performing a 'git lfs	pull' directly
       afterwards.

       'git lfs	clone' also installs all of the	repo-level hooks (.git/hooks)
       that LFS	requires to operate. If	--separate-git-dir is given, the hooks
       will be installed there.

       This is faster than a regular 'git clone' because that will download
       LFS content using the smudge filter, which is executed individually per
       file in the working copy. This is relatively inefficient	compared to
       the batch mode and parallel downloads performed by 'git lfs pull'.

OPTIONS
       All options supported by	'git clone'

       -I <paths>, --include=<paths>
	   See INCLUDE AND EXCLUDE.

       -X <paths>, --exclude=<paths>
	   See INCLUDE AND EXCLUDE.

       --skip-repo
	   Skip	installing repo-level hooks (.git/hooks) that LFS requires.
	   Disabled by default.

INCLUDE	AND EXCLUDE
       You can configure Git LFS to only fetch objects to satisfy references
       in certain paths	of the repo, and/or to exclude certain paths of	the
       repo, to	reduce the time	you spend downloading things you do not	use.

       In your Git configuration or in a .lfsconfig file, you may set either
       or both of lfs.fetchinclude and lfs.fetchexclude	to comma-separated
       lists of	paths. If lfs.fetchinclude is defined, Git LFS objects will
       only be fetched if their	path matches one in that list, and if
       lfs.fetchexclude	is defined, Git	LFS objects will only be fetched if
       their path does not match one in	that list. Paths are matched using
       wildcard	matching as per	gitignore(5).

       Note that using the command-line	options	-I and -X override the
       respective configuration	settings. Setting either option	to an empty
       string clears the value.

SEE ALSO
       git-clone(1), git-lfs-pull(1), gitignore(5).

       Part of the git-lfs(1) suite.
