NAME
git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack
SYNOPSIS
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.
--http-backend-info-refs
Used by git-http-backend(1) to serve up
$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack requests. See "Smart
Clients" in the HTTP transfer protocols[1] documentation and "HTTP
Transport" in the Git Wire Protocol, Version 2[2] documentation.
Also understood by git-receive-pack(1).
<directory>
The repository to sync from.
ENVIRONMENT
GIT_PROTOCOL
Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server
admins may need to configure some transports to allow this variable
to be passed. See the discussion in git(1).
