NAME

6       git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <url>
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.
13
14       This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three
15       options -a, -c and -t for choosing which objects to download. They are
16       now silently ignored.
17

OPTIONS

19       commit-id
20           Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull.
21
22       -a, -c, -t
23           These options are ignored for historical reasons.
24
25       -v
26           Report what is downloaded.
27
28       -w <filename>
29           Writes the commit-id into the filename under
30           $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is
31           complete.
32
33       --stdin
34           Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected
35           in this case), git http-fetch expects lines on stdin in the format
36
37               <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>]
38
39       --packfile=<hash>
40           Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected
41           in this case), git http-fetch fetches the packfile directly at the
42           given URL and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and
43           .keep files. The hash is used to determine the name of the
44           temporary file and is arbitrary. The output of index-pack is
45           printed to stdout.
46
47       --recover
48           Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after
49           an earlier fetch is interrupted.
