273<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
274<div class="sectionbody">
275<p><em>git-send-pack</em> [--all] [--force] [--exec=&lt;git-receive-pack&gt;] [&lt;host&gt;:]&lt;directory&gt; [&lt;ref&gt;&#8230;]</p>
276</div>
277<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
278<div class="sectionbody">
279<p>Invokes <em>git-receive-pack</em> on a possibly remote repository, and
280updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.</p>
281</div>
282<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
283<div class="sectionbody">
284<dl>
285<dt>
286--exec=&lt;git-receive-pack&gt;
287</dt>
288<dd>
289<p>
290 Path to the <em>git-receive-pack</em> program on the remote
291 end. Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
292 repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
293 a directory on the default $PATH.
294</p>
295</dd>
296<dt>
297--all
298</dt>
299<dd>
300<p>
301 Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
302 update all refs that locally exist.
303</p>
304</dd>
305<dt>
306--force
307</dt>
308<dd>
309<p>
310 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
311 is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
312 This flag disables the check. What this means is that
313 the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
314 care.
315</p>
316</dd>
317<dt>
318&lt;host&gt;
319</dt>
320<dd>
321<p>
322 A remote host to house the repository. When this
323 part is specified, <em>git-receive-pack</em> is invoked via
324 ssh.
325</p>
326</dd>
327<dt>
328&lt;directory&gt;
329</dt>
330<dd>
331<p>
332 The repository to update.
333</p>
334</dd>
335</dl>
336<p>&lt;ref&gt;&#8230;:
337 The remote refs to update.</p>
338</div>
339<h2>Specifying the Refs</h2>
340<div class="sectionbody">
341<p>There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
342remote end.</p>
343<p>With <em>--all</em> flag, all refs that exist locally are transfered to
344the remote side. You cannot specify any <em>&lt;ref&gt;</em> if you use
345this flag.</p>
346<p>Without <em>--all</em> and without any <em>&lt;ref&gt;</em>, the refs that exist
347both on the local side and on the remote side are updated.</p>
348<p>When one or more <em>&lt;ref&gt;</em> are specified explicitly, it can be either a
349single pattern, or a pair of such pattern separated by a colon
350":" (this means that a ref name cannot have a colon in it). A
351single pattern <em>&lt;name&gt;</em> is just a shorthand for <em>&lt;name&gt;:&lt;name&gt;</em>.</p>
352<p>Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
353and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be
354pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
355side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
356destination side.</p>
357<ul>
358<li>
359<p>
360It is an error if &lt;src&gt; does not match exactly one of the
361 local refs.
362</p>
363</li>
364<li>
365<p>
366It is an error if &lt;dst&gt; matches more than one remote refs.
367</p>
368</li>
369<li>
370<p>
371If &lt;dst&gt; does not match any remote ref, either
372</p>
373<ul>
374<li>
375<p>
376it has to start with "refs/"; &lt;dst&gt; is used as the
377 destination literally in this case.
378</p>
379</li>
380<li>
381<p>
382&lt;src&gt; == &lt;dst&gt; and the ref that matched the &lt;src&gt; must not
383 exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched &lt;src&gt;
384 locally is used as the name of the destination.
385</p>
386</li>
387</ul>
388</li>
389</ul>
390<p>Without <em>--force</em>, the &lt;src&gt; ref is stored at the remote only if
391&lt;dst&gt; does not exist, or &lt;dst&gt; is a proper subset (i.e. an
392ancestor) of &lt;src&gt;. This check, known as "fast forward check",
393is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
394remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.</p>
395<p>With <em>--force</em>, the fast forward check is disabled for all refs.</p>
396<p>Optionally, a &lt;ref&gt; parameter can be prefixed with a plus <em>+</em> sign
397to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.</p>
