Instead, it + will cause the helper to start by sending git:// service requests to + the remote side with the service field set to an appropriate value and + the repository field set to rest of the argument. Default is not to send + such a request. ++ +This is useful if remote side is git:// server accessed over +some tunnel. + +'%V' (must be first characters in argument):: + This argument will not be passed to ''. Instead it sets + the vhost field in the git:// service request (to rest of the argument). + Default is not to send vhost in such request (if sent). + +ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES +--------------------- + +GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG:: + If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes. + +ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES PASSED TO COMMAND +--------------------------------------- + +GIT_EXT_SERVICE:: + Set to long name (git-upload-pack, etc...) of service helper needs + to invoke. + +GIT_EXT_SERVICE_NOPREFIX:: + Set to long name (upload-pack, etc...) of service helper needs + to invoke. + + +EXAMPLES +-------- +This remote helper is transparently used by Git when +you use commands such as "git fetch ", "git clone ", +, "git push " or "git remote add ", where +begins with `ext::`. Examples: + +"ext::ssh -i /home/foo/.ssh/somekey user@host.example %S 'foo/repo'":: + Like host.example:foo/repo, but use /home/foo/.ssh/somekey as + keypair and user as user on remote side. This avoids needing to + edit .ssh/config. + +"ext::socat -t3600 - ABSTRACT-CONNECT:/git-server %G/somerepo":: + Represents repository with path /somerepo accessible over + git protocol at abstract namespace address /git-server. + +"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo":: + Represents a repository with path /repo accessed using the + helper program "git-server-alias foo". The path to the + repository and type of request are not passed on the command + line but as part of the protocol stream, as usual with git:// + protocol. + +"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo %Vfoo":: + Represents a repository with path /repo accessed using the + helper program "git-server-alias foo". The hostname for the + remote server passed in the protocol stream will be "foo" + (this allows multiple virtual Git servers to share a + link-level address). + +"ext::git-server-alias foo %G/repo% with% spaces %Vfoo":: + Represents a repository with path `/repo with spaces` accessed + using the helper program "git-server-alias foo". The hostname for + the remote server passed in the protocol stream will be "foo" + (this allows multiple virtual Git servers to share a + link-level address). + +"ext::git-ssl foo.example /bar":: + Represents a repository accessed using the helper program + "git-ssl foo.example /bar". The type of request can be + determined by the helper using environment variables (see + above). + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:gitremote-helpers[7] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite -- cgit v1.2.3
