Repository clone

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Repository clone is a concept from distributed revision control which represents the cloning of a remote software repository to a local copy.

[edit] Semantics

A clone operation is performed when a developer want to start working on an existing project.

[edit] Usage by DVCSs

A few tools actually have a clone command: Monotone (mtn), Mercurial (hg), git, and Bazaar (an alias for branch).

SVK simply calls it mirror.
