¶
Manage git repositories.
git.repo(
source, target, branch=master, pull=True, rebase=False, user=None, group=None,
use_ssh_user=False, ssh_keyscan=False
)
- source: the git source URL
- target: target directory to clone to
- branch: branch to pull/checkout
- pull: pull any changes for the branch
- rebase: when pulling, use
--rebase
- user: chown files to this user after
- group: chown files to this group after
- use_ssh_user: whether to use the SSH user to clone/pull
- ssh_keyscan: keyscan the remote host if not in known_hosts before clone/pull
- SSH user:

- makes the target directory writeable by all
- clones/pulls w/o sudo as the connecting SSH user
- removes other/group write permissions - unless group is defined, in which case only other
