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 dur-
     ing 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.  Dis-
	 abled 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.
