There are many parameters, but only a few are commonly used:

1. The simplest and most direct command

git clone xxx.git

2. If you want to clone to the specified directory

git clone xxx.git " specified directory "

3. Create a new branch to replace the default Origin HEAD (master) when clone

git clone -b [new_branch_name]  xxx.git

4. clone remote branch

　　The git clone command will only create the master branch by default. If you want to clone a specified remote branch (eg: dev), you can do the following:

　　A. View all branches (including hidden ones) git branch -a shows all branches, such as:　　　　

* master
  remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  remotes/origin/dev
  remotes/origin/master

　　B. Create a new ("dev") branch with the same name locally and switch to this branch

git checkout -t origin/dev This command is equivalent to:
git checkout -b dev origin/dev
