# git-local-fetch(1)

Duplicates another git repository on a local system

## NAME

git-local-fetch - Duplicates another git repository on a local system

## SYNOPSIS

*git-local-fetch* \[-c\] \[-t\] \[-a\] \[-d\] \[-v\] \[-w filename\] \[--recover\] \[-l\] \[-s\] \[-n\] commit-id path

## DESCRIPTION

Duplicates another git repository on a local system.

## OPTIONS

- \-c

  Get the commit objects.

- \-t

  Get trees associated with the commit objects.

- \-a

  Get all the objects.

- \-v

  Report what is downloaded.

- \-w \<filename\>

  Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT\_DIR/refs/\<filename\> on the local end after the transfer is complete.

- \--stdin

  Instead of a commit id on the commandline (which is not expected in this case), *git-local-fetch* expects lines on stdin in the format

  ```
  <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
  ```
