NAME¶
git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
SYNOPSIS¶
git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <url>
DESCRIPTION¶
Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options -a, -c and -t for choosing which objects to download. They are now silently ignored.
OPTIONS¶
commit-id
Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to
pull.
-a, -c, -t
These options are ignored for historical reasons.
-v
Report what is downloaded.
-w <filename>
Writes the commit-id into the filename under
$GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is
complete.
--stdin
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not
expected in this case), git http-fetch expects lines on stdin in the
format
<commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
--packfile=<hash>
Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not
expected in this case), git http-fetch fetches the packfile directly at
the given URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep
files. The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is
arbitrary. The output of index-pack is printed to stdout.
--recover
Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched.
Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted.
