See +documentation for gitlink:git-receive-pack[1]. + + +OPTIONS +------- +<repository>:: + The "remote" repository that is destination of a push + operation. See the section <<URLS,GIT URLS>> below. + +<refspec>:: + The canonical format of a <refspec> parameter is + `+?<src>:<dst>`; that is, an optional plus `+`, followed + by the source ref, followed by a colon `:`, followed by + the destination ref. ++ +The <src> side can be an +arbitrary "SHA1 expression" that can be used as an +argument to `git-cat-file -t`. E.g. `master~4` (push +four parents before the current master head). ++ +The local ref that matches <src> is used +to fast forward the remote ref that matches <dst>. If +the optional plus `+` is used, the remote ref is updated +even if it does not result in a fast forward update. ++ +Note: If no explicit refspec is found, (that is neither +on the command line nor in any Push line of the +corresponding remotes file---see below), then all the +refs that exist both on the local side and on the remote +side are updated. ++ +`tag <tag>` means the same as `refs/tags/<tag>:refs/tags/<tag>`. ++ +A parameter <ref> without a colon is equivalent to +<ref>`:`<ref>, hence updates <ref> in the destination from <ref> +in the source. ++ +Pushing an empty <src> allows you to delete the <dst> ref from +the remote repository. + +\--all:: + Instead of naming each ref to push, specifies that all + refs be pushed. + +\--tags:: + All refs under `$GIT_DIR/refs/tags` are pushed, in + addition to refspecs explicitly listed on the command + line. + +\--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>:: + Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote + end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote + repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in + a directory on the default $PATH. + +\--exec=<git-receive-pack>:: + Same as \--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>. + +-f, \--force:: + Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is + not a descendant of the local ref used to overwrite it. + This flag disables the check. This can cause the + remote repository to lose commits; use it with care. + +\--repo=<repo>:: + When no repository is specified the command defaults to + "origin"; this overrides it. + +\--thin, \--no-thin:: + These options are passed to `git-send-pack`. Thin + transfer spends extra cycles to minimize the number of + objects to be sent and meant to be used on slower connection. + +-v:: + Run verbosely. + +include::urls.txt[] + +Author +------ +Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>, later rewritten in C +by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite + |
