git-remote-fd(1) Git Manual git-remote-fd(1)
NAME
git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
SYNOPSIS
"fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
DESCRIPTION
This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git
server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts
calling git fetch, push, or archive.
If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket
connected to a remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, or
git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are
assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the
inbound pipe and <outfd> being the outbound pipe).
It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been
completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this
helper is started.
<anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
information to the user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in
some context.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG
If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.
EXAMPLES
git fetch fd::17 master
Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
git-upload-pack.
git fetch fd::17/foo master
Same as above.
git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to the same
service.
git push fd::7,8/bar master
Same as above.
