git-remote-ext(1) |
|
================= |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-remote-ext - Bridge smart transport to external command. |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
git remote add <nick> "ext::<command>[ <arguments>...]" |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
This remote helper uses the specified '<command>' to connect |
|
to a remote git server. |
|
|
|
Data written to stdin of the specified '<command>' is assumed |
|
to be sent to a git:// server, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack |
|
or git-upload-archive (depending on situation), and data read |
|
from stdout of <command> is assumed to be received from |
|
the same service. |
|
|
|
Command and arguments are separated by an unescaped space. |
|
|
|
The following sequences have a special meaning: |
|
|
|
'% ':: |
|
Literal space in command or argument. |
|
|
|
'%%':: |
|
Literal percent sign. |
|
|
|
'%s':: |
|
Replaced with name (receive-pack, upload-pack, or |
|
upload-archive) of the service git wants to invoke. |
|
|
|
'%S':: |
|
Replaced with long name (git-receive-pack, |
|
git-upload-pack, or git-upload-archive) of the service |
|
git wants to invoke. |
|
|
|
'%G' (must be the first characters in an argument):: |
|
This argument will not be passed to '<command>'. Instead, it |
|
will cause the helper to start by sending git:// service requests to |
|
the remote side with the service field set to an appropriate value and |
|
the repository field set to rest of the argument. Default is not to send |
|
such a request. |
|
+ |
|
This is useful if remote side is git:// server accessed over |
|
some tunnel. |
|
|
|
'%V' (must be first characters in argument):: |
|
This argument will not be passed to '<command>'. Instead it sets |
|
the vhost field in the git:// service request (to rest of the argument). |
|
Default is not to send vhost in such request (if sent). |
|
|
|
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES: |
|
---------------------- |
|
|
|
GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG:: |
|
If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes. |
|
|
|
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES PASSED TO COMMAND: |
|
---------------------------------------- |
|
|
|
GIT_EXT_SERVICE:: |
|
Set to long name (git-upload-pack, etc...) of service helper needs |
|
to invoke. |
|
|
|
GIT_EXT_SERVICE_NOPREFIX:: |
|
Set to long name (upload-pack, etc...) of service helper needs |
|
to invoke. |
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES: |
|
--------- |
|
This remote helper is transparently used by git when |
|
you use commands such as "git fetch <URL>", "git clone <URL>", |
|
, "git push <URL>" or "git remote add <nick> <URL>", where <URL> |
|
begins with `ext::`. Examples: |
|
|
|
"ext::ssh -i /home/foo/.ssh/somekey user@host.example %S 'foo/repo'":: |
|
Like host.example:foo/repo, but use /home/foo/.ssh/somekey as |
|
keypair and user as user on remote side. This avoids needing to |
|
edit .ssh/config. |
|
|
|
"ext::socat -t3600 - ABSTRACT-CONNECT:/git-server %G/somerepo":: |
|
Represents repository with path /somerepo accessable over |
|
git protocol at abstract namespace address /git-server. |
|
|
|
"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo":: |
|
Represents a repository with path /repo accessed using the |
|
helper program "git-server-alias foo". The path to the |
|
repository and type of request are not passed on the command |
|
line but as part of the protocol stream, as usual with git:// |
|
protocol. |
|
|
|
"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo %Vfoo":: |
|
Represents a repository with path /repo accessed using the |
|
helper program "git-server-alias foo". The hostname for the |
|
remote server passed in the protocol stream will be "foo" |
|
(this allows multiple virtual git servers to share a |
|
link-level address). |
|
|
|
"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo% with% spaces %Vfoo":: |
|
Represents a repository with path '/repo with spaces' accessed |
|
using the helper program "git-server-alias foo". The hostname for |
|
the remote server passed in the protocol stream will be "foo" |
|
(this allows multiple virtual git servers to share a |
|
link-level address). |
|
|
|
"ext::git-ssl foo.example /bar":: |
|
Represents a repository accessed using the helper program |
|
"git-ssl foo.example /bar". The type of request can be |
|
determined by the helper using environment variables (see |
|
above). |
