This command is useful in scenarios where a repository needs to be cloned in a fresh/empty database, after the initial installation.

The `--access-token` option can be used to supply a token for authorization purposes.

The `--current-commit` option can be used to specify the commit for code already deployed to the database, without updating the [registry](https://jadelab.gitbook.io/jadegit/0.15.0/deployment/registry) to track what version of the code has been deployed ([install ](https://jadelab.gitbook.io/jadegit/0.15.0/console/install)command handles initializing repositories based on the registry otherwise).
