NAME

----
|
||
|
|
git-remote-helpers - Helper programs for interoperation with remote git
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
'git remote-<transport>' <remote>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These programs are normally not used directly by end users, but are
|
||
|
|
invoked by various git programs that interact with remote repositories
|
||
|
|
when the repository they would operate on will be accessed using
|
||
|
|
transport code not linked into the main git binary. Various particular
|
||
|
|
helper programs will behave as documented here.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
COMMANDS
|
||
|
|
--------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Commands are given by the caller on the helper's standard input, one per line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'capabilities'::
|
||
|
|
Lists the capabilities of the helper, one per line, ending
|
||
|
|
with a blank line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'list'::
|
||
|
|
Lists the refs, one per line, in the format "<value> <name>
|
||
|
|
[<attr> ...]". The value may be a hex sha1 hash, "@<dest>" for
|
||
|
|
a symref, or "?" to indicate that the helper could not get the
|
||
|
|
value of the ref. A space-separated list of attributes follows
|
||
|
|
the name; unrecognized attributes are ignored. After the
|
||
|
|
complete list, outputs a blank line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
'fetch' <sha1> <name>::
|
||
|
|
Fetches the given object, writing the necessary objects to the
|
||
|
|
database. Outputs a blank line when the fetch is
|
||
|
|
complete. Only objects which were reported in the ref list
|
||
|
|
with a sha1 may be fetched this way.
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
Supported if the helper has the "fetch" capability.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a fatal error occurs, the program writes the error message to
|
||
|
|
stderr and exits. The caller should expect that a suitable error
|
||
|
|
message has been printed if the child closes the connection without
|
||
|
|
completing a valid response for the current command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional commands may be supported, as may be determined from
|
||
|
|
capabilities reported by the helper.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
