NAME
ostree-checkout - Check out a commit into a filesystemSYNOPSIS
ostree
checkout [OPTIONS...] {COMMIT} [DESTINATION]
DESCRIPTION
Checks out the given commit into the filesystem under directory DESTINATION. If DESTINATION is not specified, the COMMIT will become the destination checkout target. If COMMIT destination already exists, command will error unless --union option is selected.OPTIONS
--user-mode, -UDo not change file ownership or initialize
extended attributes.
--subpath="PATH"
Checkout sub-directory PATH.
--union
Keep existing directories and unchanged files,
overwrite existing files.
--union-add
Keep existing directories and files.
--union-identical
Like --union, but error out if a file would be
replaced with a different file. Add new files and directories, ignore
identical files, and keep existing directories. Requires -H.
--whiteouts
Process whiteout files (Docker style).
--process-passthrough-whiteouts
Enable overlayfs whiteout extraction into 0:0
character devices. Overlayfs whiteouts are encoded inside ostree as
.ostree-wh.filename and extracted as 0:0 character devices. This is useful to
carry container storage embedded into ostree.
--allow-noent
Do nothing if specified path does not
exist.
--from-stdin
Process many checkouts from standard
input.
--from-file="FILE"
Process many checkouts from input file.
--fsync="POLICY"
POLICY is a boolean which specifies whether
fsync should be used or not. Default to true.
--require-hardlinks, -H
Do not fall back to full copies if hardlinking
fails.
--force-copy-zerosized, -z
This option does nothing; the functionality is
now always on by default.
--force-copy, -C
Never hardlink (but may reflink if
available).
--bareuseronly-dirs, -M
Suppress mode bits outside of 0775 for
directories (suid, world writable, etc.).
--skip-list="FILE"
Skip checking out the absolute file paths
listed in FILE, one per line.
--selinux-policy
Set SELinux labels based on policy in root
filesystem PATH (may be /). This implies --force-copy.
EXAMPLE
$ ostree checkout my-branch $ ls
file1 file2 my-branch
