GIT-SEND-PACK(1) Git Manual GIT-SEND-PACK(1)
git-send-pack - Push objects over Git protocol to another
repository
git send-pack [--mirror] [--dry-run] [--force]
[--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
[--verbose] [--thin] [--atomic]
[--[no-]signed | --signed=(true|false|if-asked)]
[<host>:]<directory> (--all | <ref>...)
Usually you would want to use git push, which is a higher-level
wrapper of this command, instead. See git-push(1).
Invokes git-receive-pack on a possibly remote repository, and
updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.
--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>
Path to the git-receive-pack program on the remote end.
Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote repository over
ssh, and you do not have the program in a directory on the
default $PATH.
--exec=<git-receive-pack>
Same as --receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.
--all
Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update, update
all heads that locally exist.
--stdin
Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there are
refs specified on the command line in addition to this
option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those on
the command line.
If --stateless-rpc is specified together with this option
then the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line).
Each ref must be in a separate packet, and the list must end
with a flush packet.
--dry-run
Do everything except actually send the updates.
--force
Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that is
not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it. This
flag disables the check. This means that the remote
repository can lose commits; use it with care.
--verbose
Run verbosely.
--thin
Send a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form
based on objects not included in the pack to reduce network
traffic.
--atomic
Use an atomic transaction for updating the refs. If any of
the refs fails to update then the entire push will fail
without changing any refs.
--[no-]signed, --signed=(true|false|if-asked)
GPG-sign the push request to update refs on the receiving
side, to allow it to be checked by the hooks and/or be
logged. If false or --no-signed, no signing will be
attempted. If true or --signed, the push will fail if the
server does not support signed pushes. If set to if-asked,
sign if and only if the server supports signed pushes. The
push will also fail if the actual call to gpg --sign fails.
See git-receive-pack(1) for the details on the receiving end.
--push-option=<string>
Pass the specified string as a push option for consumption by
hooks on the server side. If the server doesn’t support push
options, error out. See git-push(1) and githooks(5) for
details.
<host>
A remote host to house the repository. When this part is
specified, git-receive-pack is invoked via ssh.
<directory>
The repository to update.
<ref>...
The remote refs to update.
There are three ways to specify which refs to update on the
remote end.
With the --all flag, all refs that exist locally are transferred
to the remote side. You cannot specify any <ref> if you use this
flag.
Without --all and without any <ref>, the heads that exist both on
the local side and on the remote side are updated.
When one or more <ref> are specified explicitly (whether on the
command line or via --stdin), it can be either a single pattern,
or a pair of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means
that a ref name cannot have a colon in it). A single pattern
<name> is just shorthand for <name>:<name>.
Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be pushed
is determined by finding a match that matches the source side,
and where it is pushed is determined by using the destination
side. The rules used to match a ref are the same rules used by
git rev-parse to resolve a symbolic ref name. See
git-rev-parse(1).
• It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
local refs.
• It is an error if <dst> matches more than one remote ref.
• If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
• it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
destination literally in this case.
• <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must
not exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched
<src> locally is used as the name of the destination.
Without --force, the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
<dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as the "fast-forward
check", is performed to avoid accidentally overwriting the remote
ref and losing other people’s commits from there.
With --force, the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus + sign
to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
