| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| "fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git server. |
| This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git |
| fetch, push or archive. |
| |
| If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket connected |
| to remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or |
| git-upload-achive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed |
| to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe |
| and <outfd> being the outbound pipe. |
| |
| It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed |
| (such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started. |
| |
| <anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing |
| information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some |
| context. |
| |
| ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
| --------------------- |
| GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG:: |
| If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes. |
| |
| EXAMPLES |
| -------- |
| `git fetch fd::17 master`:: |
| Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with |
| git-upload-pack. |
| |
| `git fetch fd::17/foo master`:: |
| Same as above. |
| |
| `git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)`:: |
| Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from |
| git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to |
| same service. |
| |
| `git push fd::7,8/bar master`:: |
| Same as above. |
