[Javagit-users] How to clone a remote repository using java git?

[Stanley H. <hi...@in...>]

Hello,

 

I need to clone a remote repository using java git.

The URL looks like this: git://./xyz.git

 

I read  the cookbook but there is only a manual of how to create a local
repository.

So as I'm not yet so familiar with git the question is:

 

Do I need to clone the repository to a local folder to work with it or is it
possible to work via remote connection?

Second is how can I clone the repository using java git
(DotGit.gitClone(.))?

                The point is how can I create a DotGit linked to a remote
repository to pass as the argument for the gitClone-method?

 

Thanks a lot!
