1git-daemon(1) 2============= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-daemon - A really simple server for GIT repositories. 7 8SYNOPSIS 9-------- 10'git-daemon' [--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 35Author 36------ 37Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and YOSHIFUJI Hideaki <yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> 38 39Documentation 40-------------- 41Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 42 43GIT 44--- 45Part of the link:git.html[git] suite 46
