[zsh] how to clone a local git repository whose name contains a `:'?
- by zshgit
I'm trying to clone a local git repository.
The repository's name contains a `:'. This is confusing both me and git. I get the following error:
~/work/c% git clone ../a::b .
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/user/work/c/.git/
ssh: Could not resolve hostname ../a: Name or service not known
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
How would you escape the `:'? For now I'm just changing the name of the original repository :-)
I'm using zshell...
