# Clone

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Development" %}
The `clone` command provides the ability to clone a remote repository, following which the schemas are loaded from the repository.

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 using the [registry](/jadegit/console/registry.md) to track what version of the code has been deployed ([install](/jadegit/console/install.md) command handles initializing repositories using registry data stored in the database otherwise).
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Standalone" %}
The `clone` command isn't available in the standalone variant.

{% endtabs %}
