git-upload-pack(1)
==================

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


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
		  [--advertise-refs] <directory>

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what
objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing.

This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user.
The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the
program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote
repository.  For push operations, see 'git send-pack'.

OPTIONS
-------

--[no-]strict::
	Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.

--timeout=<n>::
	Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.

--stateless-rpc::
	Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout.
	This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where
	a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit.

--advertise-refs::
	Only the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits
	immediately. This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where
	no request content is received but a response must be produced.

<directory>::
	The repository to sync from.
