GIT-UPLOAD-PACK(1)                 Git Manual                 GIT-UPLOAD-PACK(1)



NAME
       git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack

SYNOPSIS
       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.

       --http-backend-info-refs
           Used by git-http-backend(1) to serve up
           $GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack requests. See "Smart
           Clients" in the HTTP transfer protocols[1] documentation and "HTTP
           Transport" in the Git Wire Protocol, Version 2[2] documentation. Also
           understood by git-receive-pack(1).

       <directory>
           The repository to sync from.

ENVIRONMENT
       GIT_PROTOCOL
           Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server
           admins may need to configure some transports to allow this variable
           to be passed. See the discussion in git(1).
