.SH "NAME"
git-upload-pack \- Send objects packed back to git\-fetch\-pack
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fIgit\-upload\-pack\fR [\-\-[no\-]strict] [\-\-timeout=<n>] [\-\-stateless\-rpc]
                  [\-\-advertise\-refs] <directory>
.fi
.sp
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Invoked by \fIgit fetch\-pack\fR, learns what objects the other side is missing, and sends them after packing\&.
.sp
This command is usually not invoked directly by the end user\&. The UI for the protocol is on the \fIgit fetch\-pack\fR side, and the program pair is meant to be used to pull updates from a remote repository\&. For push operations, see \fIgit send\-pack\fR\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-\-[no\-]strict
.RS 4
Do not try <directory>/\&.git/ if <directory> is not a Git directory\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-timeout=<n>
.RS 4
Interrupt transfer after <n> seconds of inactivity\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-stateless\-rpc
.RS 4
Perform only a single read\-write cycle with stdin and stdout\&. This fits with the HTTP POST request processing model where a program may read the request, write a response, and must exit\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-http\-backend\-info\-refs
.RS 4
Used by
\fBgit-http-backend\fR(1)
to serve up
\fB$GIT_URL/info/refs?service=git\-upload\-pack\fR
requests\&. See "Smart Clients" in
\fBgitprotocol-http\fR(5)
and "HTTP Transport" in the
\fBgitprotocol-v2\fR(5)
documentation\&. Also understood by
\fBgit-receive-pack\fR(1)\&.

<directory>
.RS 4
The repository to sync from\&.
.RE
.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.PP
\fBGIT_PROTOCOL\fR
.RS 4
Internal variable used for handshaking the wire protocol\&. Server admins may need to configure some transports to allow this variable to be passed\&. See the discussion in
\fBgit\fR(1)\&.
