| git-fetch-pack(1) | |
| ================= | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-fetch-pack - Receive missing objects from another repository | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git fetch-pack' [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [--depth=<n>] [--no-progress] [-v] [<host>:]<directory> [<refs>...] | |
| DESCRIPTION | |
| ----------- | |
| Usually you would want to use 'git-fetch', which is a | |
| higher level wrapper of this command, instead. | |
| Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a possibly 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. | |
| -q:: | |
| --quiet:: | |
| Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the | |
| cloning process less verbose. | |
| -k:: | |
| --keep:: | |
| 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. | |
