What would I need to reset exactly? git clone --mirror sets up the fetch refspec in such a way that local refs would get reset to whatever upstream has: +refs/*:refs/* So every time you would fetch / pull, all your branches would reflect the way they are on the mirrored repo (which is why it's called mirror). The default refspec is: +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* Which would only fetch heads (branches), and maps them as remote tracking branches, so that your local branches are left alone. > > git clone --mirror is the closest you are going to get by only using > > git. > I see, thanks :) > > > So to summarize, git clone is only used for cloning history, which means > > objects and refs, the rest is not part of cloning.
