| git-daemon(1) |
| ============= |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-daemon - A really simple server for git repositories. |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-daemon' [--verbose] [--syslog] [--inetd | --port=n] [--export-all] |
| [--timeout=n] [--init-timeout=n] [directory...] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT" |
| aka 9418. It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git-upload-pack" |
| when it gets one. |
| |
| It's careful in that there's a magic request-line that gives the command and |
| what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok. |
| |
| It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and |
| it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked |
| for export this way (unless the '--export-all' parameter is specified). If you |
| pass some directory paths as 'git-daemon' arguments, you can further restrict |
| the offers to a whitelist comprising of those. |
| |
| This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| --export-all:: |
| Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories |
| (have the 'objects' subdirectory and a 'HEAD' file), even if they |
| do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file. |
| |
| --inetd:: |
| Have the server run as an inetd service. |
| |
| --port:: |
| Listen on an alternative port. |
| |
| --init-timeout:: |
| Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the |
| client request is received (typically a rather low value, since |
| that should be basically immediate). |
| |
| --timeout:: |
| Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time |
| it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent |
| waiting for next client's request. |
| |
| --syslog:: |
| Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply |
| --verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged. |
| |
| --verbose:: |
| Log details about the incoming connections and requested files. |
