dolt-clone
create local copy of remote database repository
TLDR
Clone from DoltHub
SYNOPSIS
dolt clone [options] repository [directory]
DESCRIPTION
dolt clone creates a local copy of a remote Dolt repository. It downloads the database including all tables, commit history, and branches from DoltHub or other Dolt remotes.
The cloned repository maintains a connection to its origin, enabling push and pull operations. By default, all branches are fetched, though single-branch cloning is available for efficiency.
This is typically the first step in collaborating on a Dolt database, bringing a shared dataset to your local environment for querying and modification.
