10 | -------- | |
b1889c36 | 11 | 'git fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress] [-v] [<host>:]<directory> [<refs>...] |

13 | DESCRIPTION | |
14 | ----------- | |
5162e697 | 15 | Usually you would want to use linkgit:git-fetch[1] which is a |
5cb545fa JH |
16 | higher level wrapper of this command instead. |
17 | ||
8b3d9dc0 JH |
18 | Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository, |
19 | and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to | |
20 | update the named heads. The list of commits available locally | |
33b83034 JH |
21 | is found out by scanning local $GIT_DIR/refs/ and sent to |
22 | 'git-upload-pack' running on the other end. | |
8b3d9dc0 | 23 | |
33b83034 JH |
24 | This command degenerates to download everything to complete the |
25 | asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not | |
26 | have a common ancestor commit. | |

27 | |
28 | ||
29 | OPTIONS | |
30 | ------- | |
3240240f | 31 | --all:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
32 | Fetch all remote refs. |
33 | ||
3240240f SB |
34 | -q:: |
35 | --quiet:: | |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
36 | Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the |
37 | cloning process less verbose. | |
38 | ||
3240240f SB |
39 | -k:: |
40 | --keep:: | |
ad897215 JH |
41 | Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but |
42 | create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it | |
da093d37 NP |
43 | in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is |
44 | locked against repacking. | |
ad897215 | 45 | |
3240240f | 46 | --thin:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
47 | Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent. |
48 | Use it on slower connection. | |
49 | ||
3240240f | 50 | --include-tag:: |
348e390b SP |
51 | If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will |
52 | be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if | |
53 | the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must | |
54 | otherwise determine the tags this option made available. | |
55 | ||
3240240f | 56 | --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>:: |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
57 | Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the |
58 | remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. | |
59 | Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment | |
60 | setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and | |
72e9340c | 61 | your privately installed git may not be found on the system |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
62 | default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set |
63 | up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people | |
64 | who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive | |
65 | shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of | |
66 | the things up in .bash_profile). | |
67 | ||
3240240f | 68 | --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: |
27dca07f UKK |
69 | Same as \--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>. |
70 | ||
3240240f | 71 | --depth=<n>:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
72 | Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n. |
73 | ||
3240240f | 74 | --no-progress:: |
83a5ad61 JS |
75 | Do not show the progress. |
76 | ||
3240240f | 77 | -v:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
78 | Run verbosely. |
79 | ||
8b3d9dc0 JH |
80 | <host>:: |
81 | A remote host that houses the repository. When this | |
82 | part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via | |
83 | ssh. | |
84 | ||
85 | <directory>:: | |
86 | The repository to sync from. | |
87 | ||
33b83034 | 88 | <refs>...:: |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
89 | The remote heads to update from. This is relative to |
90 | $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When | |
91 | unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. | |
