Does git-clone have resume capability?

Does the git-clone command have resume capability? If it gets interrupted while I'm downloading a large repository will it resume if I give the same command again?

No, cloning cannot be resumed, if it's interrupted you'd need to start over. If you suspect that there's a good chance that your clone may be interrupted, look for a git bundle that you can download using a protocol that can be resumed. You could then use that to create the initial clone, and use the actual repository to keep up to date.

i faced the same issue with a bad internet connection. So i came up with the following solution: Created a small php file on my server to download the package as a zip file:

<?php
$url = "https://codeload.github.com/CocoaPods/Specs/zip/master";
file_put_contents("coco.zip", fopen($url, 'r'));
?>  

<a href="coco.zip">coco.zip</a>

then download the zip file using any download manager that supports resume
