6 git-http-push - Push objects over HTTP/DAV to another repository
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 [verse]
12 'git http-push' [--all] [--dry-run] [--force] [--verbose] <url> <ref> [<ref>...]
14 DESCRIPTION
15 -----------
16 Sends missing objects to remote repository, and updates the
17 remote branch.
19 *NOTE*: This command is temporarily disabled if your libcurl
20 is older than 7.16, as the combination has been reported
21 not to work and sometimes corrupts repository.
23 OPTIONS
24 -------
25 --all::
26 Do not assume that the remote repository is complete in its
27 current state, and verify all objects in the entire local
28 ref's history exist in the remote repository.
30 --force::
31 Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
32 is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
33 This flag disables the check. What this means is that
34 the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
35 care.
37 --dry-run::
38 Do everything except actually send the updates.
40 --verbose::
41 Report the list of objects being walked locally and the
42 list of objects successfully sent to the remote repository.
44 -d::
45 -D::
46 Remove <ref> from remote repository. The specified branch
47 cannot be the remote HEAD. If -d is specified the following
48 other conditions must also be met:
50 - Remote HEAD must resolve to an object that exists locally
51 - Specified branch resolves to an object that exists locally
52 - Specified branch is an ancestor of the remote HEAD
54 <ref>...::
55 The remote refs to update.
58 Specifying the Refs
59 -------------------
61 A '<ref>' specification can be either a single pattern, or a pair
62 of such patterns separated by a colon ":" (this means that a ref name
63 cannot have a colon in it). A single pattern '<name>' is just a
64 shorthand for '<name>:<name>'.
66 Each pattern pair consists of the source side (before the colon)
67 and the destination side (after the colon). The ref to be
68 pushed is determined by finding a match that matches the source
69 side, and where it is pushed is determined by using the
70 destination side.
72 - It is an error if <src> does not match exactly one of the
73 local refs.
75 - If <dst> does not match any remote ref, either
77 * it has to start with "refs/"; <dst> is used as the
78 destination literally in this case.
80 * <src> == <dst> and the ref that matched the <src> must not
81 exist in the set of remote refs; the ref matched <src>
82 locally is used as the name of the destination.
84 Without '--force', the <src> ref is stored at the remote only if
85 <dst> does not exist, or <dst> is a proper subset (i.e. an
86 ancestor) of <src>. This check, known as "fast-forward check",
87 is performed in order to avoid accidentally overwriting the
88 remote ref and lose other peoples' commits from there.
90 With '--force', the fast-forward check is disabled for all refs.
92 Optionally, a <ref> parameter can be prefixed with a plus '+' sign
93 to disable the fast-forward check only on that ref.
