If you don't want to advertise this + capability, set this variable to false. + +receive.advertisePushOptions:: + When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options + capability to its clients. False by default. + +receive.autogc:: + By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after + receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop + it by setting this variable to false. + +receive.certNonceSeed:: + By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack` + will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using + a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret + key. + +receive.certNonceSlop:: + When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a + "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same + repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce" + found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the + hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending + side to include). This may allow writing checks in + `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of + checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable + that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to + decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only + can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`. + +receive.fsckObjects:: + If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received + objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked. + Defaults to false. If not set, the value of + `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead. + +receive.fsck.<msg-id>:: + Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by + linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of + linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for + details. + +receive.fsck.skipList:: + Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by + linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of + linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for + details. + +receive.keepAlive:: + After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may + produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing + the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection. + With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit + any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will + send a short keepalive packet. The default is 5 seconds; set + to 0 to disable keepalives entirely. + +receive.unpackLimit:: + If the number of objects received in a push is below this + limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object + files. However if the number of received objects equals or + exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as + a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the + pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster, + especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of + `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead. + +receive.maxInputSize:: + If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this + limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of + accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size + is unlimited. + +receive.denyDeletes:: + If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes + the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push. + +receive.denyDeleteCurrent:: + If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that + deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository. + +receive.denyCurrentBranch:: + If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update + to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository. + Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD + out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn", + print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to + proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no + message. Defaults to "refuse". ++ +Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working +tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is +intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily +accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement +that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when +developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems. ++ +By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or +the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout` +hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5]. + +receive.denyNonFastForwards:: + If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is + not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push, + even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is + set when initializing a shared repository. + +receive.hideRefs:: + This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies + only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches). + An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is + rejected. + +receive.procReceiveRefs:: + This is a multi-valued variable that defines reference prefixes + to match the commands in `receive-pack`. Commands matching the + prefixes will be executed by an external hook "proc-receive", + instead of the internal `execute_commands` function. If this + variable is not defined, the "proc-receive" hook will never be + used, and all commands will be executed by the internal + `execute_commands` function. ++ +For example, if this variable is set to "refs/for", pushing to reference +such as "refs/for/master" will not create or update a reference named +"refs/for/master", but may create or update a pull request directly by +running the hook "proc-receive". ++ +Optional modifiers can be provided in the beginning of the value to filter +commands for specific actions: create (a), modify (m), delete (d). +A `!` can be included in the modifiers to negate the reference prefix entry. +E.g.: ++ + git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs ad:refs/heads + git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs !:refs/heads + +receive.updateServerInfo:: + If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info + after receiving data from git-push and updating refs. + +receive.shallowUpdate:: + If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs + require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected. |
