Provided by: git-man_2.45.2-1ubuntu1.1_all bug

NAME
       git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller


SYNOPSIS
       "fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)


DESCRIPTION
       This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git server. This is not meant for end
       users but for programs and scripts calling git fetch, push, or archive.

       If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket connected to a remote Git server
       (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, or git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they
       are assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe and <outfd> being
       the outbound pipe).

       It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed (such as sending service
       request for git://) before this helper is started.

       <anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing information to the user in the URL
       in case that URL is displayed in some context.


ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG
           If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.


EXAMPLES
       git fetch fd::17 master
           Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with git-upload-pack.

       git fetch fd::17/foo master
           Same as above.

       git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
           Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to
           write data to the same service.

       git push fd::7,8/bar master
           Same as above.
