The sections on git urls and remotes files in the git-fetch, git-pull, and git-push manpages seem long enough to be worth a manpage section of their own. Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

----------------

|
One of the following notations can be used
|
|
to name the remote repository:
|
|
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
- rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- http://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- https://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- git://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- git://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- ssh://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- ssh://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- ssh://host.xz/~/path/to/repo.git
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
|
|
SSH Is the default transport protocol and also supports an
|
|
scp-like syntax. Both syntaxes support username expansion,
|
|
as does the native git protocol. The following three are
|
|
identical to the last three above, respectively:
|
|
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
- host.xz:/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- host.xz:~user/path/to/repo.git/
|
|
- host.xz:path/to/repo.git
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
|
|
To sync with a local directory, use:
|
|
|
|
===============================================================
|
|
- /path/to/repo.git/
|
|
===============================================================

REMOTES
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
|
|
file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the
|
|
named file should be in the following format:
|
|
|
|
URL: one of the above URL format
|
|
Push: <refspec>
|
|
Pull: <refspec>
|
|
|
|
Then such a short-hand is specified in place of
|
|
<repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
|
|
line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:`
|
|
lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`,
|
|
respectively. Multiple `Push:` and and `Pull:` lines may
|
|
be specified for additional branch mappings.
|
|
|
|
The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be
|
|
specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
|
|
file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
|
|
above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the
|
|
name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
|
|
`$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url>
|
|
without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the
|
|
corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory.
|
|
|
|
URL: <url>
|
|
Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote>
|
|
|
|
while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to
|
|
|
|
URL: <url>
|
|
Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
