GIT-HTTP-FETCH(1)                           Git Manual                          GIT-HTTP-FETCH(1)

NAME
       git-http-fetch - Download from a remote Git repository via HTTP

SYNOPSIS
       git http-fetch [-c] [-t] [-a] [-d] [-v] [-w filename] [--recover] [--stdin | --packfile=<hash> | <commit>] <url>

DESCRIPTION
       Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.

       This command always gets all objects. Historically, there were three options -a, -c and -t
       for choosing which objects to download. They are now silently ignored.

OPTIONS
       commit-id
           Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull.

       -a, -c, -t
           These options are ignored for historical reasons.

       -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>]

       --packfile=<hash>
           For internal use only. Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not
           expected in this case), git http-fetch fetches the packfile directly at the given URL
           and uses index-pack to generate corresponding .idx and .keep files. The hash is used
           to determine the name of the temporary file and is arbitrary. The output of index-pack
           is printed to stdout. Requires --index-pack-args.

       --index-pack-args=<args>
           For internal use only. The command to run on the contents of the downloaded pack.
           Arguments are URL-encoded separated by spaces.

       --recover
           Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched. Used after an earlier fetch
           is interrupted.
