| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 6 | git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository. | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | ||
| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| 33b83034 | 11 | git-fetch-pack [-q] [--exec=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory> [<refs>...] |
| 8b3d9dc0 JH |
12 | |
| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| 15 | Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository, | |
| 16 | and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to | |
| 17 | update the named heads. The list of commits available locally | |
| 33b83034 JH |
18 | is found out by scanning local $GIT_DIR/refs/ and sent to |
| 19 | 'git-upload-pack' running on the other end. | |
| 8b3d9dc0 | 20 | |
| 33b83034 JH |
21 | This command degenerates to download everything to complete the |
| 22 | asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not | |
| 23 | have a common ancestor commit. | |

| 26 | OPTIONS | |
| 27 | ------- | |
| 28 | -q:: | |
| 29 | Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the | |
| 30 | cloning process less verbose. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | --exec=<git-upload-pack>:: | |
| 33 | Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the | |
| 34 | remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. | |
| 35 | Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment | |
| 36 | setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and | |
| 37 | your privately installed GIT may not be found on the system | |
| 38 | default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set | |
| 39 | up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people | |
| 40 | who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive | |
| 41 | shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of | |
| 42 | the things up in .bash_profile). | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | <host>:: | |
| 45 | A remote host that houses the repository. When this | |
| 46 | part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via | |
| 47 | ssh. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | <directory>:: | |
| 50 | The repository to sync from. | |
| 51 | ||
| 33b83034 | 52 | <refs>...:: |
| 8b3d9dc0 JH |
53 | The remote heads to update from. This is relative to |
| 54 | $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When | |
| 55 | unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. | |
