git-parse-remote(1) =================== NAME ---- git-parse-remote - Routines to help parsing remote repository access parameters SYNOPSIS -------- '. "$(git --exec-path)/git-parse-remote"' DESCRIPTION ----------- This script is included in various scripts to supply routines to parse files under $GIT_DIR/remotes/ and $GIT_DIR/branches/ and configuration variables that are related to fetching, pulling and pushing. The primary entry points are: get_remote_refs_for_fetch:: Given the list of user-supplied `<repo> <refspec>...`, return the list of refs to fetch after canonicalizing them into `$GIT_DIR` relative paths (e.g. `refs/heads/foo`). When `<refspec>...` is empty the returned list of refs consists of the defaults for the given `<repo>`, if specified in `$GIT_DIR/remotes/`, `$GIT_DIR/branches/`, or `remote.*.fetch` configuration. get_remote_refs_for_push:: Given the list of user-supplied `<repo> <refspec>...`, return the list of refs to push in a form suitable to be fed to the 'git-send-pack' command. When `<refspec>...` is empty the returned list of refs consists of the defaults for the given `<repo>`, if specified in `$GIT_DIR/remotes/`. Author ------ Written by Junio C Hamano.
