<repository>::
|
|
|
|
|
The "remote" repository to pull from. One of the
|
|
|
|
|
following notations can be used to name the repository
|
|
|
|
|
to pull from:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rsync URL
|
|
|
|
|
rsync://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP(s) URL
|
|
|
|
|
http://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
GIT URL
|
|
|
|
|
git://remote.machine/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
|
|
|
remote.machine:/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Local directory
|
|
|
|
|
/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
|
|
|
|
|
file in $GIT_DIR/remotes directory can be given; the
|
|
|
|
|
named file should be in the following format:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
URL: one of the above URL format
|
|
|
|
|
Push: <refspec>...
|
|
|
|
|
Pull: <refspec>...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When such a short-hand is specified in place of
|
|
|
|
|
<repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
|
|
|
|
|
line, <refspec>... specified on Push lines or Pull lines
|
|
|
|
|
are used for "git push" and "git fetch/pull",
|
|
|
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of a file in $GIT_DIR/branches directory can be
|
|
|
|
|
specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
|
|
|
|
|
file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
|
|
|
|
|
above formats, optionally followed by a hash '#' and the
|
|
|
|
|
name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
|
|
|
|
|
$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote> file that stores a <url>
|
|
|
|
|
without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding file in the $GIT_DIR/remotes/ directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
URL: <url>
|
|
|
|
|
Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
while having <url>#<head> is equivalent to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
URL: <url>
|
|
|
|
|
Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<refspec>::
|
|
|
|
|
The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is
|
|
|
|
|
'+?<src>:<dst>'; that is, an optional plus '+', followed
|
|
|
|
|
by the source ref, followed by a colon ':', followed by
|
|
|
|
|
the destination ref.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When used in "git push", the <src> side can be an
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an
|
|
|
|
|
argument to "git-cat-file -t". E.g. "master~4" (push
|
|
|
|
|
four parents before the current master head).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For "git push", the local ref that matches <src> is used
|
|
|
|
|
to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If
|
|
|
|
|
the optional plus '+' is used, the remote ref is updated
|
|
|
|
|
even if it does not result in a fast forward update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For "git fetch/pull", the remote ref that matches <src>
|
|
|
|
|
is fetched, and if <dst> is not empty string, the local
|
|
|
|
|
ref that matches it is fast forwarded using <src>.
|
|
|
|
|
Again, if the optional plus '+' is used, the local ref
|
|
|
|
|
is updated even if it does not result in a fast forward
|
|
|
|
|
update.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some short-cut notations are also supported.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* For backward compatibility, "tag" is almost ignored;
|
|
|
|
|
it just makes the following parameter <tag> to mean a
|
|
|
|
|
refspec "refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to
|
|
|
|
|
<ref>: when pulling/fetching, and <ref>:<ref> when
|
|
|
|
|
pushing. That is, do not store it locally if
|
|
|
|
|
fetching, and update the same name if pushing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-a, \--append::
|
|
|
|
|
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the
|
|
|
|
|
existing contents of $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD. Without this
|
|
|
|
|
option old data in $GIT_DIR/FETCH_HEAD will be overwritten.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-f, \--force::
|
|
|
|
|
Usually, the command refuses to update a local ref that is
|
|
|
|
|
not an ancestor of the remote ref used to overwrite it.
|
|
|
|
|
This flag disables the check. What this means is that the
|
|
|
|
|
local repository can lose commits; use it with care.
