I'm trying to clone a specific branch (the "dev" branch) of a GitHub repository. With the git command I can run something like

git clone --branch dev https://github.com/user/repo

What's the equivalent of this in gh (GitHub CLI)? I can't find it in the docs

You can try this:

git clone link_repo -b branch_name --single-branch

In your case, we use cmd:

git clone https://github.com/user/repo -b dev --single-branch

CodePudding user response：

Try the following command to clone a specific branch.

git clone --single-branch --branch <branch-name> <url>

Example:

git clone --single-branch --branch dev https://github.com/test-repo.git

where, dev is the branch name.

https://github.com/test-repo.git is the url.
