git-upload-archive(1)


NAME

   git-upload-archive - Send archive back to git-archive

SYNOPSIS

   git upload-archive <directory>

DESCRIPTION

   Invoked by git archive --remote and sends a generated archive to the
   other end over the Git protocol.

   This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user. The UI
   for the protocol is on the git archive side, and the program pair is
   meant to be used to get an archive from a remote repository.

SECURITY

   In order to protect the privacy of objects that have been removed from
   history but may not yet have been pruned, git-upload-archive avoids
   serving archives for commits and trees that are not reachable from the
   repository's refs. However, because calculating object reachability is
   computationally expensive, git-upload-archive implements a stricter but
   easier-to-check set of rules:

    1. Clients may request a commit or tree that is pointed to directly by
       a ref. E.g., git archive --remote=origin v1.0.

    2. Clients may request a sub-tree within a commit or tree using the
       ref:path syntax. E.g., git archive --remote=origin
       v1.0:Documentation.

    3. Clients may not use other sha1 expressions, even if the end result
       is reachable. E.g., neither a relative commit like master^ nor a
       literal sha1 like abcd1234 is allowed, even if the result is
       reachable from the refs.

   Note that rule 3 disallows many cases that do not have any privacy
   implications. These rules are subject to change in future versions of
   git, and the server accessed by git archive --remote may or may not
   follow these exact rules.

   If the config option uploadArchive.allowUnreachable is true, these
   rules are ignored, and clients may use arbitrary sha1 expressions. This
   is useful if you do not care about the privacy of unreachable objects,
   or if your object database is already publicly available for access via
   non-smart-http.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
