 DESCRIPTION

+Usually you would want to use gitlink:git-fetch[1] which is a
+higher level wrapper of this command instead.

 Invokes 'git-upload-pack' on a potentially remote repository,
 and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to
 update the named heads.  The list of commits available locally

 OPTIONS
 -------
--q::
+\--all::
+       Fetch all remote refs.
+
+\--quiet, \-q::
        Pass '-q' flag to 'git-unpack-objects'; this makes the
        cloning process less verbose.
 
---exec=<git-upload-pack>::
+\--keep, \-k::
+       Do not invoke 'git-unpack-objects' on received data, but
+       create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it
+       in the object database. If provided twice then the pack is
+       locked against repacking.
+
+\--thin::
+       Spend extra cycles to minimize the number of objects to be sent.
+       Use it on slower connection.
+
+\--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>::
        Use this to specify the path to 'git-upload-pack' on the
        remote side, if is not found on your $PATH.
