pub fn fetch(
repo: &mut Repository,
remote_url: &str,
reference: &GitReference,
gctx: &GlobalContext,
remote_kind: RemoteKind,
) -> CargoResult<()>Expand description
Attempts to fetch the given git reference for a Git repository.
This is the main entry for git clone/fetch. It does the followings:
- Turns
GitReferenceinto refspecs accordingly. - Dispatches
git fetchusing libgit2, gitoxide, or git CLI.
The remote_url argument is the git remote URL where we want to fetch from.
The remote_kind argument is a thing for -Zgitoxide shallow clones
at this time. It could be extended when libgit2 supports shallow clones.
