I wish the git beginner documentation would tell one how to translate e.g., http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git&a=blob_plain&f=install.sh which is good for wget, to the URL one needs for git-clone to get the same file.
You can't use "git clone" to get a single file. You can only get the entire repository using "git clone". Usually, the clone-url is written somewhere on the projects gitweb page, and that is also the case for this repository. If you visit http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/files.git;a=summary you'll find this section on that page: URL git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-fso/files.git http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-fso/files.git It's impossible to infer the clone url from the gitweb url, because there's absolutely no connection between them (that will change if gitweb gains fetch/clone support), and the paths/urls depends on the servers configuration which we cannot know. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
