Do we need local server to clone a repo from cloud in plasticscm

Question

Do we need local server to clone repo from cloud. I tried to clone using cm clone repo1@<organame>@cloud It gives me error

Source and destination repositories are the same ('repo1@@cloud')

. Can't we just clone a repo like we do in git using "git clone" and it just copy the floder to disk.

Answer 1

The "cm clone" command requires a src_rep_spec and dst_rep_spec parameters as it clones from a source to a destination repository.

More info on cm clone --help.

if you just want to download a copy of a repository in certain changeset you should use you should use "cm wk create" (Create a workspace).
