git-http-fetch(1) ================= NAME ---- git-http-fetch - Download from a remote git repository via HTTP SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git http-fetch' [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin] <commit> <url> DESCRIPTION ----------- Downloads a remote git repository via HTTP. *NOTE*: use of this command without -a is deprecated. The -a behaviour will become the default in a future release. OPTIONS ------- commit-id:: Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull. -c:: Get the commit objects. -t:: Get trees associated with the commit objects. -a:: Get all the objects. -v:: Report what is downloaded. -w <filename>:: Writes the commit-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is complete. --stdin:: Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this case), 'git http-fetch' expects lines on stdin in the format <commit-id>['\t'<filename-as-in--w>] --recover:: Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted. GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
