Copy full content of one repository to another in GIT

0 votes
391 views

I have a given server repository at location, let say "A" (URL) I have a new empty repository at another location, let say "B" (URL)

I WOULD LIKE TO COPY ALL CONTENT FROM A TO B.

  • In a local clone of B I did a "git pull A" but I've got the "master" branch only.
  • In a local clone of B I cannot say "git pull --all A"

COULD YOU PLEASE PROVIDE THE SINGLE STEPS ON HOW TO DO THIS?

  • please: not rsync like stuff, I would prefer the git way -> I hope there's one
  • please: a few comments would be great

Say branch1 and branch2 in test.git repo.

test.git

- branch2
foo/text.txt

branch1 is developers branch all source looks version'ed manner and branch2 is superset for branch1, example foo_v1 and foo_v2 are the directories in branch1 where developer will update the latest one here foo_v2 and branch2 foo is same as the latest one of branch1 for an instance.

Suppose developer send 10 patches on branch1 where are changes in terms of _/ then I need to apply on my local repo branch1, till now is fine then I need to apply same 10 patches on to my branch2 where source tree which is quite question here how can I do.

Strange effect with tar file of a cloned repository in GIT

I've been trying to put my filesystem for a very small busybox-based distro into a git-repository. And with success. The only strange thing I can not get my head around is the following :

When making a compressed tarball from the files from the repository (after clone/checkout) I get a very much larger tar.gz-file. Size goes up from 16M to 21M (!?)
