Summary

Clone a Git repository into the specified path in a Daytona sandbox. Optionally check out a branch or commit and provide HTTPS credentials for a private repository.

Inputs

  • Sandbox ID (required) — ID of the sandbox to clone into.
  • Repository URL (required) — Git repository URL to clone.
  • Path (required) — Absolute destination path inside the sandbox. Sandboxes run as the non-root daytona user, so use a writable location such as /home/daytona/ or /tmp/.
  • Branch — Branch to check out after cloning. Leave empty to use the repository's default branch. Ignored when Commit ID is set.
  • Commit ID — Commit SHA to check out; takes precedence over Branch.
  • Username — HTTPS username for a private repository.
  • Password — HTTPS password or personal access token for a private repository.
