git-ubuntu-clone - Clone a Ubuntu source package repository into a new directory
Contents
Description
Clones a Ubuntu source package repository given just the source package name. A remote named "pkg" will
be created to track branches from the importer repository (See git-ubuntu-import for details). A remote
named after the derived Launchpad user will be created for tracking their personal branches. The
resulting repository is a regular git(1) repository and all normal git(1) commands can be used. See git-clone(1) for common operations after cloning.
Exit Status
gitubuntuclone exits with status 0 if the clone completes successfully. gitubuntuclone exits with
nonzero exit status on errors.
