1git-daemon(1) 2============= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-daemon - A really simple server for GIT repositories. 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10'git-daemon' [--verbose] [--syslog] [--inetd | --port=n] 11 12DESCRIPTION 13----------- 14A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT" 15aka 9418. It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git-upload-pack" 16when it gets one. 17 18It's careful in that there's a magic request-line that gives the command and 19what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok. 20 21It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and 22it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked 23for export this way. 24 25This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories. 26 27OPTIONS 28------- 29--inetd:: 30 Have the server run as an inetd service. 31 32--port:: 33 Listen on an alternative port. 34 35--syslog:: 36 Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply 37 --verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged. 38 39--verbose:: 40 Log details about the incoming connections and requested files. 41 42Author 43------ 44Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> 45 46Documentation 47-------------- 48Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 49 50GIT 51--- 52Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 53
