git-daemon(1)
=============
NAME
----
git-daemon - A really simple server for git repositories.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-daemon' [--verbose] [--syslog] [--inetd | --port=n]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT"
aka 9418. It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git-upload-pack"
when it gets one.
It's careful in that there's a magic request-line that gives the command and
what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok.
It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and
it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked
for export this way.
This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories.
OPTIONS
-------
--inetd::
Have the server run as an inetd service.
--port::
Listen on an alternative port.
--syslog::
Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
--verbose::
Log details about the incoming connections and requested files.
