Create clone of git project from existing code without do new clone

In this article, I will guide you how to create a clone of a existing project by using the already cloned code set which available in another computer.

When you going to clone the project from remote repository, it's need to download the project form the remote. Trouble start if the project got more capacity and slow internet connections or temporary disconnection to clone new one.

Step 01.  Go to the project location of code existing place by console. (I'm using linux terminal)

Step 02. Execute following command at the project place.

git archive --format zip --output /full/path/to/myproject.zip master

Project code has exported to the myproject.zip, but not included the .git folder.

Take both myproject.zip file and .git folder to another computer or another place of your computer

Step 3. Extract the zip and copy the .git folder into it.

Step 4. Go inside to the project and take git pull (If internet connection available).


Now it's working as a newly cloned one

Hence most of the cases we have to increase PermGen size more than required to deployed applications and it's wasting of memory in the system.  There is a solution for them to release PermGen size and let it clean by GC in JVM at hot deployment. Step 01: Include below dependency to pom.xml <dependency>               <groupId>se.jiderhamn.classloa der-leak-prevention</groupId>         <artifactId>classloader-leak-p revention-servlet</artifactId>   <version>2.2.0</version> </dependency> Step 02: Add listener to web.xml <listener>   <listener-class>se.jiderhamn.c lassloader.leak.prevention.Cla ssLoaderL...
