git_repository

git_repository(name, branch, commit, init_submodules, patch_args, patch_cmds, patch_tool, patches, remote, shallow_since, strip_prefix, tag, verbose)

Clone an external git repository.

Clones a Git repository, checks out the specified tag, or commit, and makes its targets available for binding. Also determine the id of the commit actually checked out and its date, and return a dict with parameters that provide a reproducible version of this rule (which a tag not necessarily is).

branch String; optional

branch in the remote repository to checked out. Precisely one of branch, tag, or commit must be specified.

commit String; optional

init_submodules Boolean; optional

Whether to clone submodules in the repository.

patch_args List of strings; optional

patch_cmds List of strings; optional

Sequence of commands to be applied after patches are applied.

patch_tool String; optional

patches List of labels; optional

A list of files that are to be applied as patches afer extracting the archive.

remote String; required

The URI of the remote Git repository

shallow_since String; optional

an optional date, not after the specified commit; the argument is not allowed if a tag is specified (which allows cloning with depth 1). Setting such a date close to the specified commit allows for a more shallow clone of the repository, saving bandwidth and wall-clock time.
