1GIT URLS[[URLS]] 2---------------- 3 4One of the following notations can be used 5to name the remote repository: 6 7=============================================================== 8- rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ 9- http://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ 10- https://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ 11- git://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ 12- git://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/ 13- ssh://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/ 14- ssh://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/ 15- ssh://host.xz/~/path/to/repo.git 16=============================================================== 17 18SSH Is the default transport protocol and also supports an 19scp-like syntax. Both syntaxes support username expansion, 20as does the native git protocol. The following three are 21identical to the last three above, respectively: 22 23=============================================================== 24- host.xz:/path/to/repo.git/ 25- host.xz:~user/path/to/repo.git/ 26- host.xz:path/to/repo.git 27=============================================================== 28 29To sync with a local directory, use: 30 31=============================================================== 32- /path/to/repo.git/ 33=============================================================== 34 35REMOTES 36------- 37 38In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a 39file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the 40named file should be in the following format: 41 42 URL: one of the above URL format 43 Push: <refspec> 44 Pull: <refspec> 45 46Then such a short-hand is specified in place of 47<repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command 48line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:` 49lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`, 50respectively. Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may 51be specified for additional branch mappings. 52 53The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be 54specified as an older notation short-hand; the named 55file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the 56above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the 57name of remote head (URL fragment notation). 58`$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url> 59without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the 60corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory. 61 62 URL: <url> 63 Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote> 64 65while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to 66 67 URL: <url> 68 Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
