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] <commit> <url>
Description
Downloads a remote git repository via HTTP.
Options
commit-id
- Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull.
- -c
- Get the commit objects.
- -t
- Get trees associated with the commit objects.
- -a
- Get all the objects.
- -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>]
- --recover
- Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted.
