title: sparo git-clone
---

This is the [mirrored subcommand](./overview.md) for `git clone`.  It has the same functionality as the corresponding Git subcommand, but supports Sparo's optional anonymous timing metrics collection.

```
sparo git-clone [--template=<template-directory>]
	  [-l] [-s] [--no-hardlinks] [-q] [-n] [--bare] [--mirror]
	  [-o <name>] [-b <name>] [-u <upload-pack>] [--reference <repository>]
	  [--dissociate] [--separate-git-dir <git-dir>]
	  [--depth <depth>] [--[no-]single-branch] [--no-tags]
	  [--recurse-submodules[=<pathspec>]] [--[no-]shallow-submodules]
	  [--[no-]remote-submodules] [--jobs <n>] [--sparse] [--[no-]reject-shallow]
	  [--filter=<filter> [--also-filter-submodules]] [--] <repository>
	  [<directory>]
```
