10 | -------- | |
7791a1d9 | 11 | [verse] |
b1889c36 | 12 | 'git fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress] [-v] [<host>:]<directory> [<refs>...] |

14 | DESCRIPTION | |
15 | ----------- | |
0b444cdb | 16 | Usually you would want to use 'git fetch', which is a |
483bc4f0 | 17 | higher level wrapper of this command, instead. |
5cb545fa | 18 | |
ba020ef5 | 19 | Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a possibly remote repository |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
20 | and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to |
21 | update the named heads. The list of commits available locally | |
cc1b8d8b | 22 | is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to |
ba020ef5 | 23 | 'git-upload-pack' running on the other end. |
8b3d9dc0 | 24 | |
33b83034 JH |
25 | This command degenerates to download everything to complete the |
26 | asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not | |
27 | have a common ancestor commit. | |

28 | |

30 | OPTIONS | |
31 | ------- | |
3240240f | 32 | --all:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
33 | Fetch all remote refs. |
34 | ||
078b895f IT |
35 | --stdin:: |
36 | Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there | |
37 | are refs specified on the command line in addition to this | |
38 | option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those | |
39 | on the command line. | |
40 | + | |
41 | If '--stateless-rpc' is specified together with this option then | |
42 | the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must | |
43 | be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet. | |
44 | ||
3240240f SB |
45 | -q:: |
46 | --quiet:: | |
0b444cdb | 47 | Pass '-q' flag to 'git unpack-objects'; this makes the |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
48 | cloning process less verbose. |
49 | ||
3240240f SB |
50 | -k:: |
51 | --keep:: | |
0b444cdb | 52 | Do not invoke 'git unpack-objects' on received data, but |
ad897215 | 53 | create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it |
da093d37 NP |
54 | in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is |
55 | locked against repacking. | |
ad897215 | 56 | |
3240240f | 57 | --thin:: |
738820a9 SB |
58 | Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based |
59 | on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic. | |
18bd8821 | 60 | |
3240240f | 61 | --include-tag:: |
348e390b SP |
62 | If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will |
63 | be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if | |
64 | the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must | |
65 | otherwise determine the tags this option made available. | |
66 | ||
3240240f | 67 | --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>:: |
ba020ef5 | 68 | Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
69 | remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. |
70 | Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment | |
71 | setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and | |
72e9340c | 72 | your privately installed git may not be found on the system |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
73 | default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set |
74 | up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people | |
75 | who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive | |
76 | shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of | |
77 | the things up in .bash_profile). | |
78 | ||
3240240f | 79 | --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: |
27dca07f UKK |
80 | Same as \--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>. |
81 | ||
3240240f | 82 | --depth=<n>:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
83 | Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n. |
84 | ||
3240240f | 85 | --no-progress:: |
83a5ad61 JS |
86 | Do not show the progress. |
87 | ||
3240240f | 88 | -v:: |
18bd8821 UKK |
89 | Run verbosely. |
90 | ||
8b3d9dc0 JH |
91 | <host>:: |
92 | A remote host that houses the repository. When this | |
ba020ef5 | 93 | part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
94 | ssh. |
95 | ||
96 | <directory>:: | |
97 | The repository to sync from. | |
98 | ||
33b83034 | 99 | <refs>...:: |
8b3d9dc0 JH |
100 | The remote heads to update from. This is relative to |
101 | $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When | |
102 | unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. | |
