|  | git-upload-pack(1) | 
|  | ================== | 
|  |  | 
|  | NAME | 
|  | ---- | 
|  | git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | SYNOPSIS | 
|  | -------- | 
|  | [verse] | 
|  | 'git-upload-pack' [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc] | 
|  | [--advertise-refs] <directory> | 
|  |  | 
|  | DESCRIPTION | 
|  | ----------- | 
|  | Invoked by 'git fetch-pack', learns what | 
|  | objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. | 
|  | The UI for the protocol is on the 'git fetch-pack' side, and the | 
|  | program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote | 
|  | repository.  For push operations, see 'git send-pack'. | 
|  |  | 
|  | OPTIONS | 
|  | ------- | 
|  |  | 
|  | --[no-]strict:: | 
|  | Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory. | 
|  |  | 
|  | --timeout=<n>:: | 
|  | Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity. | 
|  |  | 
|  | --stateless-rpc:: | 
|  | Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout. | 
|  | This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where | 
|  | a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit. | 
|  |  | 
|  | --advertise-refs:: | 
|  | Only the initial ref advertisement is output, and the program exits | 
|  | immediately. This fits with the HTTP GET request model, where | 
|  | no request content is received but a response must be produced. | 
|  |  | 
|  | <directory>:: | 
|  | The repository to sync from. |
