OPTIONS

--strict-paths::
OPTIONS
-------
--strict-paths::
'git://example.com/hello.git', `git-daemon` will interpret the path
as '/srv/git/hello.git'.
'git://example.com/hello.git', `git-daemon` will interpret the path
as '/srv/git/hello.git'.
+--interpolated-path=pathtemplate::
+ To support virtual hosting, an interpolated path template can be
+ used to dynamically construct alternate paths. The template
+ supports %H for the target hostname as supplied by the client but
+ converted to all lowercase, %CH for the canonical hostname,
+ %IP for the server's IP address, %P for the port number,
+ and %D for the absolute path of the named repository.
+ After interpolation, the path is validated against the directory
+ whitelist.
+
--export-all::
Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories
(have the 'objects' and 'refs' subdirectories), even if they

--inetd::
Have the server run as an inetd service. Implies --syslog.
--inetd::

+ Incompatible with --port, --listen, --user and --group options.
---port::
- Listen on an alternative port.
+--listen=host_or_ipaddr::
+ Listen on an a specific IP address or hostname. IP addresses can
+ be either an IPv4 address or an IPV6 address if supported. If IPv6
+ is not supported, then --listen=hostname is also not supported and
+ --listen must be given an IPv4 address.
+ Incompatible with '--inetd' option.
+
+--port=n::
+ Listen on an alternative port. Incompatible with '--inetd' option.
--init-timeout::
Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the

---enable-service, --disable-service::
+--enable=service, --disable=service::
Enable/disable the service site-wide per default. Note
that a service disabled site-wide can still be enabled
per repository if it is marked overridable and the
repository enables the service with an configuration
item.

+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+We assume the following in /etc/services::
++
+------------
+$ grep 9418 /etc/services
+git 9418/tcp # Git Version Control System
+------------
+
+git-daemon as inetd server::
+ To set up `git-daemon` as an inetd service that handles any
+ repository under the whitelisted set of directories, /pub/foo
+ and /pub/bar, place an entry like the following into
+ /etc/inetd all on one line:
++
+------------------------------------------------
+ git stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/git-daemon
+ git-daemon --inetd --verbose --export-all
+ /pub/foo /pub/bar
+------------------------------------------------
+
+
+git-daemon as inetd server for virtual hosts::
+ To set up `git-daemon` as an inetd service that handles
+ repositories for different virtual hosts, `www.example.com`
+ and `www.example.org`, place an entry like the following into
+ `/etc/inetd` all on one line:
++
+------------------------------------------------
+ git stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/bin/git-daemon
+ git-daemon --inetd --verbose --export-all
+ --interpolated-path=/pub/%H%D
+ /pub/www.example.org/software
+ /pub/www.example.com/software
+ /software
+------------------------------------------------
++
+In this example, the root-level directory `/pub` will contain
+a subdirectory for each virtual host name supported.
+Further, both hosts advertise repositories simply as
+`git://www.example.com/software/repo.git`. For pre-1.4.0
+clients, a symlink from `/software` into the appropriate
+default repository could be made as well.
+
+
+git-daemon as regular daemon for virtual hosts::
+ To set up `git-daemon` as a regular, non-inetd service that
+ handles repositories for multiple virtual hosts based on
+ their IP addresses, start the daemon like this:
++
+------------------------------------------------
+ git-daemon --verbose --export-all
+ --interpolated-path=/pub/%IP/%D
+ /pub/192.168.1.200/software
+ /pub/10.10.220.23/software
+------------------------------------------------
++
+In this example, the root-level directory `/pub` will contain
+a subdirectory for each virtual host IP address supported.
+Repositories can still be accessed by hostname though, assuming
+they correspond to these IP addresses.
