ostree-checkout — Check out a commit into a filesystem
ostree checkout [OPTIONS...] {COMMIT} [DESTINATION]
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.
--user-mode, -UDo not change file ownership or initialize extended attributes.
--subpath="PATH"Checkout sub-directory PATH.
--unionKeep existing directories and unchanged files, overwrite existing files.
--union-addKeep existing directories and files.
--union-identicalLike --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.
--whiteoutsProcess 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-noentDo nothing if specified path does not exist.
--from-stdinProcess 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,
-HDo not fall back to full copies if hardlinking fails.
--force-copy-zerosized,
-zThis option does nothing; the functionality is now always on by default.
--force-copy, -CNever hardlink (but may reflink if available).
--bareuseronly-dirs,
-MSuppress 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.
--composefsOnly generate a composefs, not a directory.
--composefs-noverityOnly generate a composefs, not a directory; fsverity digests will not be included. This is best used for "opportunistic" use of composefs.
