GIT_WORK_TREE and GIT_DIR with git clone

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I would like to have git clone respect GIT_DIR (and --git-dir) so I
can clone multiple repos into the same working directory (I know there
was another request for this[1]).

The pattern here is big projects that are modularized into multiple
git repositories, but supposed to be overlaid over a common directory
structure.

I would like to be able to tell my users that they can simply do:

git clone --git-dir=_/git/module1/.git module1-url
git clone --git-dir=_/git/module2/.git module2-url

which will overlay the files from both modules into the current
directory, which from git's perspective is the work-tree for both
modules.
