NAME
git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTPSYNOPSIS
git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url>
DESCRIPTION
Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
NOTE: use of this command without -a is deprecated. The -a behaviour will become the default in a future release.
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.
