| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w <filename>] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <URL> |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP. |
| |
| This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options |
| `-a`, `-c` and `-t` for choosing which objects to download. They are now |
| silently ignored. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| commit-id:: |
| Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to |
| pull. |
| |
| -a, -c, -t:: |
| These options are ignored for historical reasons. |
| -v:: |
| Report what is downloaded. |
| |
| -w <filename>:: |
| Writes the commit-id into the specified filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on |
| the local end after the transfer is complete. |
| |
| --stdin:: |
| Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this |
| case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format |
| |
| <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>] |
| |
| --packfile=<hash>:: |
| For internal use only. Instead of a commit id on the command |
| line (which is not expected in |
| this case), 'git http-fetch' fetches the packfile directly at the given |
| URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files. |
| The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is |
| arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout. Requires |
| --index-pack-args. |
| |
| --index-pack-args=<args>:: |
| For internal use only. The command to run on the contents of the |
| downloaded pack. Arguments are URL-encoded separated by spaces. |
| |
| --recover:: |
| Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after |
| an earlier fetch is interrupted. |
