It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git-upload-pack" +when it gets one. + +It's careful in that there's a magic request-line that gives the command and +what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok. + +It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and +it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked +for export this way (unless the '--export-all' parameter is specified). If you +pass some directory paths as 'git-daemon' arguments, you can further restrict +the offers to a whitelist comprising of those. + +This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories. + +OPTIONS +------- +--strict-paths:: + Match paths exactly (i.e. don't allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is + "/foo/repo.git" or "/foo/repo/.git") and don't do user-relative paths. + git-daemon will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no + whitelist is specified. + +--export-all:: + Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories + (have the 'objects' and 'refs' subdirectories), even if they + do not have the 'git-daemon-export-ok' file. + +--inetd:: + Have the server run as an inetd service. Implies --syslog. + +--port:: + Listen on an alternative port. + +--init-timeout:: + Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the + client request is received (typically a rather low value, since + that should be basically immediate). + +--timeout:: + Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time + it takes for the server to process the sub-request and time spent + waiting for next client's request. + +--syslog:: + Log to syslog instead of stderr. Note that this option does not imply + --verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged. + +--verbose:: + Log details about the incoming connections and requested files. + +<directory>:: + A directory to add to the whitelist of allowed directories. Unless + --strict-paths is specified this will also include subdirectories + of each named directory. + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>, YOSHIFUJI Hideaki +<yoshfuji@linux-ipv6.org> and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite + |
