Artifactory github Repository - downloadBranch

I have github setup as a VCS repository in Artifactory. When using the downloadBrach API through Artifactory (similar to downloading files via git clone), the download appears to include everything except the dot hidden files (.gitignore is an example).

Is there a way to include all files (including the dot hidden files) when downloading a branch from an Artifactory VCS repository?

This is what I've tried:

curl -XGET "https://artifactory.domainname.com/artifactory/api/vcs/downloadBranch/github-remote-vcs/jquery/jquery/master" -o jqueryMaster.tar.gz

This results in a gzipped tarball that contains all files in the repo, except for the dot hidden files but I need all files in the repo.

Update #1

Slight correction - the dot hidden files are getting downloaded with the exception of the .git subdirectory containing information about the Repo itself. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the .git directory as well as the Repo metadata included?

No: The downloadBranch is for downloading a tarball (tar.gz/zip, default tar.gz) of a complete branch.

It is an archive, not a full repo history.

Exposing a VCS history through Artifactory API is for downloading archives only, not a full repo.

  • List all tags
  • List all branches
  • Download a specific tag
  • Download a file within a tag
  • Download a specific branch
  • Download a file within a branch
  • Download a release
