NAME

6       git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
7

SYNOPSIS

9       "fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git
13       server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts
14       calling git fetch, push, or archive.
15
16       If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket
17       connected to a remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, or
18       git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are
19       assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the
20       inbound pipe and <outfd> being the outbound pipe).
21
22       It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been
23       completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this
24       helper is started.
25
26       <anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
27       information to the user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in
28       some context.

EXAMPLES

35       git fetch fd::17 master
36           Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
37           git-upload-pack.
38
39       git fetch fd::17/foo master
40           Same as above.
41
42       git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
43           Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
44           git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to the same
45           service.
46
47       git push fd::7,8/bar master
48           Same as above.
