Usage:
  git-clone [OPTIONS] repository [directory]

Application Options:
  -i, --identity=<file>            Selects a file from which the identity (private key) for public key
                                   ssh authentication is read. Or use the environment variable
                                   [$GIT_CLONE_KEY]
  -r, --recursive                  After the clone is created, initialize all submodules within, using
                                   their default settings.
  -p, --pull                       Incorporates changes from a remote repository into the current branch
                                   (if already cloned).
  -o, --origin=<name>              Instead of using the remote name origin to keep track of the upstream
                                   repository, use <name>. (default: origin)
  -b, --branch=<name>              Instead of pointing the newly created HEAD to the branch pointed to by
                                   the cloned repository’s HEAD, point to <name> branch instead.
      --single-branch              Clone only the history leading to the tip of a single branch, either
                                   specified by the --branch option or the primary branch remote’s HEAD
                                   points at.
  -d, --depth=<depth>              Create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the specified
                                   number of commits.
  -t, --tags=[all|no|following]    Tag mode (default: all)
  -l, --last                       Print the latest commit.

Help Options:
  -h, --help                       Show this help message

Arguments:
  repository:                      The repository to clone from.
  directory:                       The name of a new directory to clone into.

Usage

$ git-clone https://github.com/n0madic/git-clone.git

Clone to another dir:
$ git-clone https://github.com/n0madic/git-clone.git foo
$ git-clone https://github.com/n0madic/git-clone.git ~/bar

Cloning specific branch:
$ git-clone -b develop https://github.com/n0madic/git-clone.git
Note: if the repository already cloned, it will simply switch the branch, and local changes will be discarded.

Download a specific tag:
$ git-clone -b tags/v0.1.0 https://github.com/n0madic/git-clone.git

Pull if repository already cloned (if not then just clone):
$ git-clone --pull https://github.com/n0madic/git-clone.git

Use custom private key from file:
$ git-clone --identity ~/.ssh/id_rsa.foo git@github.com:n0madic/git-clone.git

Use custom private key from environment:
$ export GIT_CLONE_KEY=$(cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.bar)
$ git-clone git@github.com:n0madic/git-clone.git
Note: --identity flag has a higher priority over the environment.
