| git-upload-pack(1) |
| ================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc] |
| [--advertise-refs] <directory> |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what |
| objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing. |
| |
| This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. |
| The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the |
| program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote |
| repository. For push operations, see 'git send-pack'. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| --[no-]strict:: |
| Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is not a Git directory. |
| |
| --timeout=<n>:: |
| Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity. |
| |
| --stateless-rpc:: |
| Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout. |
| This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where |
| a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit. |
| |
| --http-backend-info-refs:: |
| Used by linkgit:git-http-backend[1] to serve up |
| `$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` requests. See |
| "Smart Clients" in linkgit:gitprotocol-http[5] and "HTTP |
| Transport" in the linkgit:gitprotocol-v2[5] |
| documentation. Also understood by |
| linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. |
| |
| <directory>:: |
| The repository to sync from. |
| |
| ENVIRONMENT |
| ----------- |
| |
| `GIT_PROTOCOL`:: |
| Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server |
| admins may need to configure some transports to allow this |
| variable to be passed. See the discussion in linkgit:git[1]. |
