   6 git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack

   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 [verse]
  12 'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
  13                   [--advertise-refs] <directory>
  14
  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
  18 objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.
  19
  20 This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
  21 The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
  22 program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
  23 repository.  For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.
  24
  25 OPTIONS
  26 -------
  27
  28 --[no-]strict::
  29         Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.
  30
  31 --timeout=<n>::
  32         Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.
  33
  34 --stateless-rpc::
  35         Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
  36         This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
  37         a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.
  38
  39 --http-backend-info-refs::
  40         Used by linkgit:git-http-backend[1] to serve up
  41         `$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack` requests. See
  42         "Smart Clients" in link:technical/http-protocol.html[the HTTP
  43         transfer protocols] documentation and "HTTP Transport" in
  44         link:technical/protocol-v2.html[the Git Wire Protocol, Version
  45         2] documentation. Also understood by
  46         linkgit:git-receive-pack[1].
  47
  48 <directory>::
  49         The repository to sync from.
  50
  51 ENVIRONMENT
  52 -----------
  53
  54 `GIT_PROTOCOL`::
  55         Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server
  56         admins may need to configure some transports to allow this
  57         variable to be passed. See the discussion in linkgit:git[1].
