GIT-REMOTE-FD(1)                                              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 remote git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
       git-upload-achive). 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 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 same
              service.


       git push fd::7,8/bar master
              Same as above.
