clone with --force arg

[alexzanderr]

im trying to clone a repo by force into an existing one

            let repo = Repository::clone(
                package_template_repo_url,
                clone_destination.clone(),
            );

apparently there is no args method for builder pattern.

how can i specify arguments to clone method ?

such as:

• force ? does this exist ?
• --branch
• --depth and many more

You can use RepoBuilder to control the clone options (FetchOptions, CheckoutBuilder, etc.). libgit2 does not support shallow clones, though.

[alexzanderr]

yeah. but that example is very minimal ...

[alexzanderr]

thats all the documentation for that ? ...

[ehuss]

That is the documentation available. Is there something that seems to be missing? The FetchOptions and CheckoutBuilder contains documentation for each option.

[alexzanderr]

okey, i'll read the docs and come back later.
