NAME

       git-upload-pack - Send objects packed back to git-fetch-pack

SYNOPSIS

       git-upload-pack [--[no-]strict] [--timeout=<n>] [--stateless-rpc]
                         [--advertise-refs] <directory>

DESCRIPTION

       Invoked by git fetch-pack, learns what objects the other side is missing, and sends them
       after packing.

       This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. The UI for the protocol is
       on the git fetch-pack side, and the program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from
       a remote repository. For push operations, see git send-pack.

OPTIONS

       --[no-]strict
           Do not try <directory>/.git/ if <directory> is no Git directory.

       --timeout=<n>
           Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity.

       --stateless-rpc
           Perform only a single read-write cycle with stdin and stdout. This fits with the HTTP
           POST request processing model where a program may read the request, write a response,
           and must exit.

       --http-backend-info-refs
           Used by git-http-backend(1) to serve up $GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack
           requests. See "Smart Clients" in the HTTP transfer protocols[1] documentation and
           "HTTP Transport" in the Git Wire Protocol, Version 2[2] documentation. Also understood
           by git-receive-pack(1).

       <directory>
           The repository to sync from.

ENVIRONMENT

       GIT_PROTOCOL
           Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol. Server admins may need to
           configure some transports to allow this variable to be passed. See the discussion in
           git(1).
