DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
|
Usually you would want to use linkgit:git-fetch[1] which is a
|
|
|
|
|
higher level wrapper of this command instead.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository,
|
|
|
|
|
and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
|
|
|
|
|
update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
|
|
|
|
|
is found out by scanning local $GIT_DIR/refs/ and sent to
|
|
|
|
|
'git-upload-pack' running on the other end.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This command degenerates to download everything to complete the
|
|
|
|
|
asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not
|
|
|
|
|
have a common ancestor commit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
|
\--all::
|
|
|
|
|
Fetch all remote refs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--quiet, \-q::
|
|
|
|
|
Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
|
|
|
|
|
cloning process less verbose.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--keep, \-k::
|
|
|
|
|
Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
|
|
|
|
|
create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
|
|
|
|
|
in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
|
|
|
|
|
locked against repacking.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--thin::
|
|
|
|
|
Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
|
|
|
|
|
Use it on slower connection.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--include-tag::
|
|
|
|
|
If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will
|
|
|
|
|
be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if
|
|
|
|
|
the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise determine the tags this option made available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>::
|
|
|
|
|
Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
|
|
|
|
|
remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
|
|
|
|
|
setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
|
|
|
|
|
your privately installed git may not be found on the system
|
|
|
|
|
default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
|
|
|
|
|
up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
|
|
|
|
|
who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
|
|
|
|
|
shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
|
|
|
|
|
the things up in .bash_profile).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--exec=<git-upload-pack>::
|
|
|
|
|
Same as \--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--depth=<n>::
|
|
|
|
|
Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\--no-progress::
|
|
|
|
|
Do not show the progress.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\-v::
|
|
|
|
|
Run verbosely.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<host>::
|
|
|
|
|
A remote host that houses the repository. When this
|
|
|
|
|
part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via
|
|
|
|
|
ssh.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<directory>::
|
|
|
|
|
The repository to sync from.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<refs>...::
|
|
|
|
|
The remote heads to update from. This is relative to
|
|
|
|
|
$GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When
|
|
|
|
|
unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.
