Home > SQL Developer Dialog Boxes ... > Git: Clone from Git
Clones a Git repository into a newly created directory, creates remote-tracking branches for each branch in the cloned repository, and creates and checks out an initial branch that is forked from the cloned repository's currently active branch.
Based on the information that you enter on these pages, SQL Developer executes the Git clone
command. For detailed information, see the Git Reference at http://gitref.org/
and the git-clone(1)
manual page at https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-clone.html
