Faithfully clone a github repository












1














I am trying to clone the Caffe SSD implementation: https://github.com/weiliu89/caffe/tree/ssd



So I run:



$ git clone https://github.com/weiliu89/caffe.git
$ ls caffe


and get the expected output, a list of the top level files, as seen on the github web interface.



but if I explore deeper, e.g.:



$ ls caffe/docker/
cpu gpu README.md


I get different files/folders to those appearing on the web interface (https://github.com/weiliu89/caffe/tree/ssd/docker).



How can I fix this?

    That is what I see in the web interface: github.com/weiliu89/caffe/tree/master/docker. Are you sure you're comparing the correct branches?
