What is the method for cloning a git repository that includes all branches?

edit

To clone a git repository that includes all branches, you would use the following command:

git clone --mirror <repository URL>

The --mirror option specifies that you want to clone the repository with all its branches and tags. This option also makes the clone a bare repository, which means that it doesn't have a local working directory like a regular clone.

Once the repository has been cloned, you can list all the branches using the following command:

git branch -a

This will show you all the branches, including the remote branches that were cloned with the repository.
