git-remote-fd(1)


NAME

   git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller

SYNOPSIS

   "fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)

DESCRIPTION

   This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git
   server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts
   calling git fetch, push or archive.

   If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket
   connected to remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
   git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are
   assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the
   inbound pipe and <outfd> being the outbound pipe.

   It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been
   completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this
   helper is started.

   <anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
   information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
   context.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

   GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG
       If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.

EXAMPLES

   git fetch fd::17 master
       Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
       git-upload-pack.

   git fetch fd::17/foo master
       Same as above.

   git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
       Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
       git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to same
       service.

   git push fd::7,8/bar master
       Same as above.
