Plugins / Git Clone

Git Clone

by Woodpecker Authors

This is the default plugin for the clone step.


plugin-git

This plugin is automatically introduced into your pipeline as the first step. Its purpose is to clone your Git repository.

Features

  • Git LFS support is enabled by default.
  • Fetch tags when needed.
  • Adjust submodules.

Overriding Settings

You can manually define your clone step in order to change plugin or override some of the default settings. Consult the clone section of the pipeline documentation for more information; this documentation page only describes this plugin.
