| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] |
| [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] |
| [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress] |
| [-v] <repository> [<refs>...] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Usually you would want to use 'git fetch', which is a |
| higher level wrapper of this command, instead. |
| |
| Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a possibly remote repository |
| and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to |
| update the named heads. The list of commits available locally |
| is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to |
| 'git-upload-pack' running on the other end. |
| |
| This command degenerates to download everything to complete the |
| asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not |
| have a common ancestor commit. |
| |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| --all:: |
| Fetch all remote refs. |
| |
| --stdin:: |
| Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there |
| are refs specified on the command line in addition to this |
| option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those |
| on the command line. |
| + |
| If `--stateless-rpc` is specified together with this option then |
| the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must |
| be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet. |
| |
| -q:: |
| --quiet:: |
| Pass `-q` flag to 'git unpack-objects'; this makes the |
| cloning process less verbose. |
| |
| -k:: |
| --keep:: |
| Do not invoke 'git unpack-objects' on received data, but |
| create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it |
| in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is |
| locked against repacking. |
| |
| --thin:: |
| Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based |
| on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic. |
| |
| --include-tag:: |
| If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will |
| be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if |
| the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must |
| otherwise determine the tags this option made available. |
| |
| --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>:: |
| Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the |
| remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. |
| Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment |
| setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and |
| your privately installed git may not be found on the system |
| default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set |
| up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people |
| who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive |
| shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of |
| the things up in .bash_profile). |
| |
| --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: |
| Same as --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>. |
| |
| --depth=<n>:: |
| Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n. |
| 'git-upload-pack' treats the special depth 2147483647 as |
| infinite even if there is an ancestor-chain that long. |
| |
| --shallow-since=<date>:: |
| Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow'repository to |
| include all reachable commits after <date>. |
| |
| --shallow-exclude=<revision>:: |
| Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to |
| exclude commits reachable from a specified remote branch or tag. |
| This option can be specified multiple times. |
| |
| --deepen-relative:: |
| Argument --depth specifies the number of commits from the |
| current shallow boundary instead of from the tip of each |
| remote branch history. |
| |
| --no-progress:: |
| Do not show the progress. |
| |
| --check-self-contained-and-connected:: |
| Output "connectivity-ok" if the received pack is |
| self-contained and connected. |
| |
| -v:: |
| Run verbosely. |
| |
| <repository>:: |
| The URL to the remote repository. |
| |
| <refs>...:: |
| The remote heads to update from. This is relative to |
| $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When |
| unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. |
| + |
| If the remote has enabled the options `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, |
| `uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`, or `uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant`, |
| they may alternatively be 40-hex sha1s present on the remote. |
