Tim here. I'm not sure what sort of "git file" you have. If it's a "bundle", you can pull from it as if it was an upstream project: git clone your_repo.bundle repo to create a local directory called "repo" and clone that bundle into it. If it's just a pack file from inside the .git/ folder from another repo, there's no telling what may or may not be in there (okay, one can spelunk in there, but you lose a lot of the metadata that is elswhere in the folder such as branch-heads/names, and any commits that weren't part of the pack-file) -tim On April 23, 2020, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > If you download a git file how is it possible to have git unpack > the file for you into its own directory tree? > I failed to write my git credentials in braille and haven't used > them for a very long time so may be able to get a git file using > wget but for now I don't know how to unpack the file. > > > > -- > > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list > _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
