| REMOTES[[REMOTES]] |
| ------------------ |
| |
| The name of one of the following can be used instead |
| of a URL as `<repository>` argument: |
| |
| * a remote in the Git configuration file: `$GIT_DIR/config`, |
| * a file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory, or |
| * a file in the `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory. |
| |
| All of these also allow you to omit the refspec from the command line |
| because they each contain a refspec which git will use by default. |
| |
| Named remote in configuration file |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| You can choose to provide the name of a remote which you had previously |
| configured using linkgit:git-remote[1], linkgit:git-config[1] |
| or even by a manual edit to the `$GIT_DIR/config` file. The URL of |
| this remote will be used to access the repository. The refspec |
| of this remote will be used by default when you do |
| not provide a refspec on the command line. The entry in the |
| config file would appear like this: |
| |
| ------------ |
| [remote "<name>"] |
| url = <URL> |
| pushurl = <pushurl> |
| push = <refspec> |
| fetch = <refspec> |
| ------------ |
| |
| The `<pushurl>` is used for pushes only. It is optional and defaults |
| to `<URL>`. |
| |
| Named file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| You can choose to provide the name of a |
| file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes`. The URL |
| in this file will be used to access the repository. The refspec |
| in this file will be used as default when you do not |
| provide a refspec on the command line. This file should have the |
| following format: |
| |
| ------------ |
| URL: one of the above URL format |
| Push: <refspec> |
| Pull: <refspec> |
| |
| ------------ |
| |
| `Push:` lines are used by 'git push' and |
| `Pull:` lines are used by 'git pull' and 'git fetch'. |
| Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may |
| be specified for additional branch mappings. |
| |
| Named file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| You can choose to provide the name of a |
| file in `$GIT_DIR/branches`. |
| The URL in this file will be used to access the repository. |
| This file should have the following format: |
| |
| |
| ------------ |
| <URL>#<head> |
| ------------ |
| |
| `<URL>` is required; `#<head>` is optional. |
| |
| Depending on the operation, git will use one of the following |
| refspecs, if you don't provide one on the command line. |
| `<branch>` is the name of this file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` and |
| `<head>` defaults to `master`. |
| |
| git fetch uses: |
| |
| ------------ |
| refs/heads/<head>:refs/heads/<branch> |
| ------------ |
| |
| git push uses: |
| |
| ------------ |
| HEAD:refs/heads/<head> |
| ------------ |
| |
| |
