git-send-pack - Push objects over Git protocol to another repository


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git send-pack' [--mirror] [--dry-run] [--force]
		[--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>]
		[--verbose] [--thin] [--atomic]
		[--[no-]signed | --signed=(true|false|if-asked)]
		[<host>:]<directory> (--all | <ref>...)

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Usually you would want to use 'git push', which is a
higher-level wrapper of this command, instead. See linkgit:git-push[1].

Invokes 'git-receive-pack' on a possibly remote repository, and
updates it from the current repository, sending named refs.


OPTIONS
-------
--receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>::
	Path to the 'git-receive-pack' program on the remote
	end.  Sometimes useful when pushing to a remote
	repository over ssh, and you do not have the program in
	a directory on the default $PATH.

--exec=<git-receive-pack>::
	Same as --receive-pack=<git-receive-pack>.

--all::
	Instead of explicitly specifying which refs to update,
	update all heads that locally exist.

--stdin::
	Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line. If there
	are refs specified on the command line in addition to this
	option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those
	on the command line.
+
If `--stateless-rpc` is specified together with this option then
the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt-line). Each ref must
be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet.

--dry-run::
	Do everything except actually send the updates.

--force::
	Usually, the command refuses to update a remote ref that
	is not an ancestor of the local ref used to overwrite it.
	This flag disables the check.  This means that
	the remote repository can lose commits; use it with
	care.

--verbose::
	Run verbosely.

--thin::
	Send a "thin" pack, which records objects in deltified form based
	on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic.

--atomic::
	Use an atomic transaction for updating the refs. If any of the refs
	fails to update then the entire push will fail without changing any
	refs.

--[no-]signed::
--signed=(true|false|if-asked)::
	GPG-sign the push request to update refs on the receiving
	side, to allow it to be checked by the hooks and/or be
	logged.  If `false` or `--no-signed`, no signing will be
	attempted.  If `true` or `--signed`, the push will fail if the
	server does not support signed pushes.  If set to `if-asked`,
	sign if and only if the server supports signed pushes.  The push
	will also fail if the actual call to `gpg --sign` fails.  See
	linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]
