| | =head1 NAME
public-inbox-clone - "git clone --mirror" wrapper
=head1 SYNOPSIS
public-inbox-clone INBOX_URL [INBOX_DIR]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
public-inbox-clone is a wrapper around C<git clone --mirror> for
making the initial clone of a remote HTTP(S) public-inbox. It
allows cloning multi-epoch v2 inboxes with a single command and
zero configuration.
It does not run L<public-inbox-init(1)> nor
L<public-inbox-index(1)>. Those commands must be run separately
if serving/searching the mirror is required. As-is,
public-inbox-clone is suitable for creating a git-only backup.
public-inbox-clone creates a Makefile with handy targets to update the
inbox once indexed. This Makefile may be edited by the user; it will
not be rewritten by L<public-inbox-fetch(1)> unless it is removed
completely.
public-inbox-clone does not use nor require any extra
configuration files (not even C<~/.public-inbox/config>).
L<public-inbox-fetch(1)> may be used to keep C<INBOX_DIR>
up-to-date.
For v2 inboxes, it will create a C<$INBOX_DIR/manifest.js.gz>
file to speed up subsequent L<public-inbox-fetch(1)>.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item --epoch=RANGE
Restrict clones of L<public-inbox-v2-format(5)> inboxes to the
given range of epochs. The range may be a single non-negative
integer or a (possibly open-ended) C<LOW..HIGH> range of
non-negative integers. C<~> may be prefixed to either (or both)
integer values to represent the offset from the maximum possible
value.
For example, C<--epoch=~0> alone clones only the latest epoch,
C<--epoch=~2..> clones the three latest epochs.
Default: C<0..~0> or C<0..> or C<..~0>
(all epochs, all three examples are equivalent)
=item -I PATTERN
=item --include=PATTERN
When cloning a top-level with multiple inboxes, only clone inboxes and
repositories matching a given wildcard pattern (using C<*?> and C<[]> is
supported).
=item --exclude=PATTERN
When cloning a top-level with multiple inboxes, ignore inboxes and
repositories matching the given wildcard pattern. Supports the same
wildcards as L</--include>
=item --inbox-config=always|v2|v1|never
Whether or not to retrieve the C<$INBOX/_/text/config/raw> HTTP(S)
endpoint when cloning.
Since we can't deduce v1 inboxes from code repositories, setting this
to C<v2> or C<never> can allow faster clones of code repositories if
no v1 inboxes are present.
Default: C<always>
=item --inbox-version=NUM
Force a remote public-inbox version (must be C<1> or C<2>).
This is auto-detected by default, and this option exists mainly
for testing.
=item -n
=item --dry-run
Show what would be done, without making any changes.
=item -q
=item --quiet
Quiets down progress messages, also passed to L<git-fetch(1)>.
=item -v
=item --verbose
Increases verbosity, also passed to L<git-fetch(1)>.
=item --torsocks=auto|no|yes
=item --no-torsocks
Whether to wrap L<git(1)> and L<curl(1)> commands with L<torsocks(1)>.
Default: C<auto>
