| GIT URLS[[URLS]] |
| ---------------- |
| |
| One of the following notations can be used |
| to name the remote repository: |
| |
| =============================================================== |
| - rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - http://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - https://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - git://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - git://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - ssh://{startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz/~/path/to/repo.git |
| =============================================================== |
| |
| SSH is the default transport protocol. You can optionally specify |
| which user to log-in as, and an alternate, scp-like syntax is also |
| supported. Both syntaxes support username expansion, |
| as does the native git protocol. The following three are |
| identical to the last three above, respectively: |
| |
| =============================================================== |
| - {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:~user/path/to/repo.git/ |
| - {startsb}user@{endsb}host.xz:path/to/repo.git |
| =============================================================== |
| |
| To sync with a local directory, use: |
| |
| =============================================================== |
| - /path/to/repo.git/ |
| =============================================================== |

| REMOTES |
| ------- |
| |
| In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a |
| file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the |
| named file should be in the following format: |
| |
| ------------ |
| URL: one of the above URL format |
| Push: <refspec> |
| Pull: <refspec> |
| |
| ------------ |
| |
| Then such a short-hand is specified in place of |
| <repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command |
| line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:` |
| lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`, |
| respectively. Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may |
| be specified for additional branch mappings. |
| |
| Or, equivalently, in the `$GIT_DIR/config` (note the use |
| of `fetch` instead of `Pull:`): |
| |
| ------------ |
| [remote "<remote>"] |
| url = <url> |
| push = <refspec> |
| fetch = <refspec> |
| |
| ------------ |
| |
| The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be |
| specified as an older notation short-hand; the named |
| file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the |
| above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the |
| name of remote head (URL fragment notation). |
| `$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url> |
| without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the |
| corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory. |
| |
| ------------ |
| URL: <url> |
| Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote> |
| |
| ------------ |
| |
| while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to |
| |
| ------------ |
| URL: <url> |
| Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote> |
| ------------ |
