The list of commits available locally +is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to +'git-upload-pack' running on the other end. + +This command degenerates to download everything to complete the +asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not +have a common ancestor commit. + + +OPTIONS +------- +--all:: + Fetch all remote refs. + +--stdin:: + Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there + are refs specified on the command line in addition to this + option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those + on the command line. ++ +If `--stateless-rpc` is specified together with this option then +the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must +be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet. + +-q:: +--quiet:: + Pass `-q` flag to 'git unpack-objects'; this makes the + cloning process less verbose. + +-k:: +--keep:: + Do not invoke 'git unpack-objects' on received data, but + create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it + in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is + locked against repacking. + +--thin:: + Fetch a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based + on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic. + +--include-tag:: + If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will + be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if + the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must + otherwise determine the tags this option made available. + +--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>:: + Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the + remote side, if is not found on your $PATH. + Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment + setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and + your privately installed git may not be found on the system + default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set + up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people + who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive + shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of + the things up in .bash_profile). + +--exec=<git-upload-pack>:: + Same as --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>. + +--depth=<n>:: + Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n. + 'git-upload-pack' treats the special depth 2147483647 as + infinite even if there is an ancestor-chain that long. + +--shallow-since=<date>:: + Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to + include all reachable commits after <date>. + +--shallow-exclude=<revision>:: + Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to + exclude commits reachable from a specified remote branch or tag. + This option can be specified multiple times. + +--deepen-relative:: + Argument --depth specifies the number of commits from the + current shallow boundary instead of from the tip of each + remote branch history. + +--refetch:: + Skips negotiating commits with the server in order to fetch all matching + objects. Use to reapply a new partial clone blob/tree filter. + +--no-progress:: + Do not show the progress. + +--check-self-contained-and-connected:: + Output "connectivity-ok" if the received pack is + self-contained and connected. + +-v:: + Run verbosely. + +<repository>:: + The URL to the remote repository. + +<refs>...:: + The remote heads to update from. This is relative to + $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When + unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has. ++ +If the remote has enabled the options `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`, +`uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant`, or `uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant`, +they may alternatively be 40-hex sha1s present on the remote. + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:git-fetch[1] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
