### I just cloned my repository and conflicting data was overwritten. Why?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Prior to cloning your repository, files managed by yadm already existed. For
|
|
||||||
example, imagine you are logged into a system and `$HOME/.bash_profile` already
|
|
||||||
exists. If you then clone your yadm repository—which also contains
|
|
||||||
`.bash_profile`—then you will likely get a conflict. Since version 1.07,
|
|
||||||
yadm responds by "stashing" these conflicts. To view the stashed data, you can
|
|
||||||
run `yadm stash show -p` from within your `$HOME` directory. If you want to
|
|
||||||
restore the stashed data, you can run `yadm stash apply` from within your
|
|
||||||
`$HOME` directory.

### Why was I prompted to login twice while cloning my repo?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
yadm needs to query your repo to determine the default branch used. When you are
|
|
||||||
using a private repository, this additional query also requires authentication.
|
|
||||||
You can avoid the double login by specifying which branch to clone using the
|
|
||||||
`-b` option.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
yadm clone -b <branch> <url>
