<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Remote helper programs are normally not used directly by end users,
but they are invoked by Git when it needs to interact with remote
repositories Git does not support natively.  A given helper will
implement a subset of the capabilities documented here. When Git
needs to interact with a repository using a remote helper, it spawns
the helper as an independent process, sends commands to the helper&#8217;s
standard input, and expects results from the helper&#8217;s standard
output. Because a remote helper runs as an independent process from
Git, there is no need to re-link Git to add a new helper, nor any
need to link the helper with the implementation of Git.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Every helper must support the "capabilities" command, which Git
uses to determine what other commands the helper will accept.  Those
other commands can be used to discover and update remote refs,
transport objects between the object database and the remote repository,
and update the local object store.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Git comes with a "curl" family of remote helpers, that handle various
transport protocols, such as <em>git-remote-http</em>, <em>git-remote-https</em>,
<em>git-remote-ftp</em> and <em>git-remote-ftps</em>. They implement the capabilities
<em>fetch</em>, <em>option</em>, and <em>push</em>.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_invocation">INVOCATION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Remote helper programs are invoked with one or (optionally) two
arguments. The first argument specifies a remote repository as in Git;
it is either the name of a configured remote or a URL. The second
argument specifies a URL; it is usually of the form
<em>&lt;transport&gt;://&lt;address&gt;</em>, but any arbitrary string is possible.
The <code>GIT_DIR</code> environment variable is set up for the remote helper
and can be used to determine where to store additional data or from
which directory to invoke auxiliary Git commands.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When Git encounters a URL of the form <em>&lt;transport&gt;://&lt;address&gt;</em>, where
<em>&lt;transport&gt;</em> is a protocol that it cannot handle natively, it
automatically invokes <em>git remote-&lt;transport&gt;</em> with the full URL as
the second argument. If such a URL is encountered directly on the
command line, the first argument is the same as the second, and if it
is encountered in a configured remote, the first argument is the name
of that remote.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A URL of the form <em>&lt;transport&gt;::&lt;address&gt;</em> explicitly instructs Git to
invoke <em>git remote-&lt;transport&gt;</em> with <em>&lt;address&gt;</em> as the second
argument. If such a URL is encountered directly on the command line,
the first argument is <em>&lt;address&gt;</em>, and if it is encountered in a
configured remote, the first argument is the name of that remote.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Additionally, when a configured remote has <code>remote.&lt;name&gt;.vcs</code> set to
<em>&lt;transport&gt;</em>, Git explicitly invokes <em>git remote-&lt;transport&gt;</em> with
<em>&lt;name&gt;</em> as the first argument. If set, the second argument is
<code>remote.&lt;name&gt;.url</code>; otherwise, the second argument is omitted.</p></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_input_format">INPUT FORMAT</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Git sends the remote helper a list of commands on standard input, one
per line.  The first command is always the <em>capabilities</em> command, in
response to which the remote helper must print a list of the
capabilities it supports (see below) followed by a blank line.  The
response to the capabilities command determines what commands Git uses
in the remainder of the command stream.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The command stream is terminated by a blank line.  In some cases
(indicated in the documentation of the relevant commands), this blank
line is followed by a payload in some other protocol (e.g., the pack
protocol), while in others it indicates the end of input.</p></div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_capabilities">Capabilities</h3>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Each remote helper is expected to support only a subset of commands.
The operations a helper supports are declared to Git in the response
to the <code>capabilities</code> command (see COMMANDS, below).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In the following, we list all defined capabilities and for
each we list which commands a helper with that capability
must provide.</p></div>

        carried out.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>refspec</em> &lt;refspec&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        For remote helpers that implement <em>import</em> or <em>export</em>, this capability
        allows the refs to be constrained to a private namespace, instead of
        writing to refs/heads or refs/remotes directly.
        It is recommended that all importers providing the <em>import</em>
        capability use this. It&#8217;s mandatory for <em>export</em>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A helper advertising the capability
<code>refspec refs/heads/*:refs/svn/origin/branches/*</code>
is saying that, when it is asked to <code>import refs/heads/topic</code>, the
stream it outputs will update the <code>refs/svn/origin/branches/topic</code>
ref.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This capability can be advertised multiple times.  The first
applicable refspec takes precedence.  The left-hand of refspecs
advertised with this capability must cover all refs reported by
the list command.  If no <em>refspec</em> capability is advertised,
there is an implied <code>refspec *:*</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When writing remote-helpers for decentralized version control
systems, it is advised to keep a local copy of the repository to
interact with, and to let the private namespace refs point to this
local repository, while the refs/remotes namespace is used to track
the remote repository.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>bidi-import</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This modifies the <em>import</em> capability.
        The fast-import commands <em>cat-blob</em> and <em>ls</em> can be used by remote-helpers
        to retrieve information about blobs and trees that already exist in
        fast-import&#8217;s memory. This requires a channel from fast-import to the
        remote-helper.
        If it is advertised in addition to "import", Git establishes a pipe from
        fast-import to the remote-helper&#8217;s stdin.
        It follows that Git and fast-import are both connected to the
        remote-helper&#8217;s stdin. Because Git can send multiple commands to
        the remote-helper it is required that helpers that use <em>bidi-import</em>
        buffer all <em>import</em> commands of a batch before sending data to fast-import.
        This is to prevent mixing commands and fast-import responses on the
        helper&#8217;s stdin.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>export-marks</em> &lt;file&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This modifies the <em>export</em> capability, instructing Git to dump the
        internal marks table to &lt;file&gt; when complete. For details,
        read up on <code>--export-marks=&lt;file&gt;</code> in <a href="git-fast-export.html">git-fast-export(1)</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>import-marks</em> &lt;file&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This modifies the <em>export</em> capability, instructing Git to load the
        marks specified in &lt;file&gt; before processing any input. For details,
        read up on <code>--import-marks=&lt;file&gt;</code> in <a href="git-fast-export.html">git-fast-export(1)</a>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>signed-tags</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        This modifies the <em>export</em> capability, instructing Git to pass
        <code>--signed-tags=verbatim</code> to <a href="git-fast-export.html">git-fast-export(1)</a>.  In the
        absence of this capability, Git will use <code>--signed-tags=warn-strip</code>.
</p>

<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>object-format</em>

        a symref, ":&lt;keyword&gt; &lt;value&gt;" for a key-value pair, or
        "?" to indicate that the helper could not get the value of the

        Similar to <em>list</em>, except that it is used if and only if
        the caller wants to the resulting ref list to prepare
        push commands.
        A helper supporting both push and fetch can use this

        Fetches the given object, writing the necessary objects
        to the database.  Fetch commands are sent in a batch, one
        per line, terminated with a blank line.
        Outputs a single blank line when all fetch commands in the
        same batch are complete. Only objects which were reported
        in the output of <em>list</em> with a sha1 may be fetched this way.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Optionally may output a <em>lock &lt;file&gt;</em> line indicating the full path of
a file under <code>$GIT_DIR/objects/pack</code> which is keeping a pack until
refs can be suitably updated.  The path must end with <code>.keep</code>. This is
a mechanism to name a &lt;pack,idx,keep&gt; tuple by giving only the keep
component.  The kept pack will not be deleted by a concurrent repack,
even though its objects may not be referenced until the fetch completes.
The <code>.keep</code> file will be deleted at the conclusion of the fetch.</p></div>

        is followed by a blank line). For example, the following would
        be two batches of <em>push</em>, the first asking the remote-helper
        to push the local ref <em>master</em> to the remote ref <em>master</em> and
        the local <code>HEAD</code> to the remote <em>branch</em>, and the second

        Produces a fast-import stream which imports the current value

        to a helper-specific private namespace. The value of the named

<em>option verbosity</em> &lt;n&gt;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
        Changes the verbosity of messages displayed by the helper.
        A value of 0 for &lt;n&gt; means that processes operate
        quietly, and the helper produces only error output.
        1 is the default level of verbosity, and higher values
        of &lt;n&gt; correspond to the number of -v flags passed on the
        command line.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>option progress</em> {<em>true</em>|<em>false</em>}

</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>option depth</em> &lt;depth&gt;

<p>
        If enabled the helper should automatically fetch annotated
        tag objects if the object the tag points at was transferred
        during the fetch command.  If the tag is not fetched by
        the helper a second fetch command will usually be sent to
        ask for the tag specifically.  Some helpers may be able to
        use this option to avoid a second network connection.
