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] <commit> <url>

DESCRIPTION

   Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP.

   NOTE: use of this command without -a is deprecated. The -a behaviour
   will become the default in a future release.

OPTIONS

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

   -c
       Get the commit objects.

   -t
       Get trees associated with the commit objects.

   -a
       Get all the objects.

   -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>]

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