How do I clone a single branch in Git?

Question

I have a local Git repository called \'skeleton\' that I use for storing project skeletons. It has a few branches, for different kinds of projects:

casey@aga         


        

Answer 1

Clone only one branch. This is the easiest way:

git clone -b BRANCH_NAME --single-branch git@bitbucket.org:___/PROJECTNAME.git
