 <h1>
 git-fetch-pack(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-fetch-pack -
  Receive missing objects from another repository
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="para"><p><em>git fetch-pack</em> [--all] [--quiet|-q] [--keep|-k] [--thin] [--include-tag] [--upload-pack=&lt;git-upload-pack&gt;] [--depth=&lt;n&gt;] [--no-progress] [-v] [&lt;host&gt;:]&lt;directory&gt; [&lt;refs&gt;&#8230;]</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="para"><p>Usually you would want to use <em>git-fetch</em>, which is a
 higher level wrapper of this command, instead.</p></div>
 <div class="para"><p>Invokes <em>git-upload-pack</em> on a possibly remote repository
 and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
 update the named heads. The list of commits available locally
 is found out by scanning local $GIT_DIR/refs/ and sent to
 <em>git-upload-pack</em> running on the other end.</p></div>
 <div class="para"><p>This command degenerates to download everything to complete the
 asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not
 have a common ancestor commit.</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 --all
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Fetch all remote refs.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -q
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --quiet
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Pass <em>-q</em> flag to <em>git-unpack-objects</em>; this makes the
  cloning process less verbose.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -k
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --keep
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Do not invoke <em>git-unpack-objects</em> on received data, but
  create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
  in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
  locked against repacking.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --thin
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
  Use it on slower connection.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --include-tag
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will
  be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if
  the object the tag references is downloaded. The caller must
  otherwise determine the tags this option made available.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --upload-pack=&lt;git-upload-pack&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Use this to specify the path to <em>git-upload-pack</em> on the
  remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
  Installations of sshd ignores the user's environment
  setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and
  your privately installed git may not be found on the system
  default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set
  up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people
  who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive
  shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of
  the things up in .bash_profile).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --exec=&lt;git-upload-pack&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Same as --upload-pack=&lt;git-upload-pack&gt;.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --depth=&lt;n&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Limit fetching to ancestor-chains not longer than n.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --no-progress
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Do not show the progress.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -v
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Run verbosely.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;host&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  A remote host that houses the repository. When this
  part is specified, <em>git-upload-pack</em> is invoked via
  ssh.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;directory&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The repository to sync from.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;refs&gt;&#8230;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The remote heads to update from. This is relative to
  $GIT_DIR (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When
  unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has.
 </p>
 </dd>
