 771 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 772 <div class="sectionbody">
 773 <div class="paragraph"><p>A really simple TCP Git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT"
 774 aka 9418.  It waits for a connection asking for a service, and will serve
 775 that service if it is enabled.</p></div>
 776 <div class="paragraph"><p>It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git-daemon-export-ok", and
 777 it will refuse to export any Git directory that hasn&#8217;t explicitly been marked
 778 for export this way (unless the <code>--export-all</code> parameter is specified). If you
 779 pass some directory paths as <em>git daemon</em> arguments, the offers are limited to
 780 repositories within those directories.</p></div>
 781 <div class="paragraph"><p>By default, only <code>upload-pack</code> service is enabled, which serves
 782 <em>git fetch-pack</em> and <em>git ls-remote</em> clients, which are invoked
 783 from <em>git fetch</em>, <em>git pull</em>, and <em>git clone</em>.</p></div>
 784 <div class="paragraph"><p>This is ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e., pulling from
 785 Git repositories.</p></div>
 786 <div class="paragraph"><p>An <code>upload-archive</code> also exists to serve <em>git archive</em>.</p></div>
 787 </div>
 788 </div>

 790 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 791 <div class="sectionbody">
 792 <div class="dlist"><dl>
 793 <dt class="hdlist1">
 794 --strict-paths
 795 </dt>
 796 <dd>
 797 <p>
 798         Match paths exactly (i.e. don&#8217;t allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is
 799         "/foo/repo.git" or "/foo/repo/.git") and don&#8217;t do user-relative paths.
 800         <em>git daemon</em> will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no
 801         directory arguments are provided.
 802 </p>
 803 </dd>
 804 <dt class="hdlist1">
 805 --base-path=&lt;path&gt;
 806 </dt>
 807 <dd>
 808 <p>
 809         Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path.
 810         This is sort of "Git root" - if you run <em>git daemon</em> with
 811         <em>--base-path=/srv/git</em> on example.com, then if you later try to pull
 812         <em>git://example.com/hello.git</em>, <em>git daemon</em> will interpret the path
 813         as <code>/srv/git/hello.git</code>.
 814 </p>
 815 </dd>
 816 <dt class="hdlist1">
 817 --base-path-relaxed
 818 </dt>
 819 <dd>
 820 <p>
 821         If --base-path is enabled and repo lookup fails, with this option
 822         <em>git daemon</em> will attempt to lookup without prefixing the base path.
 823         This is useful for switching to --base-path usage, while still
 824         allowing the old paths.
 825 </p>
 826 </dd>
 827 <dt class="hdlist1">
 828 --interpolated-path=&lt;pathtemplate&gt;
 829 </dt>
 830 <dd>
 831 <p>
 832         To support virtual hosting, an interpolated path template can be
 833         used to dynamically construct alternate paths.  The template
 834         supports %H for the target hostname as supplied by the client but
 835         converted to all lowercase, %CH for the canonical hostname,
 836         %IP for the server&#8217;s IP address, %P for the port number,
 837         and %D for the absolute path of the named repository.
 838         After interpolation, the path is validated against the directory
 839         list.

 843 --export-all

 845 <dd>
 846 <p>
 847         Allow pulling from all directories that look like Git repositories
 848         (have the <em>objects</em> and <em>refs</em> subdirectories), even if they
 849         do not have the <em>git-daemon-export-ok</em> file.

 868         Listen on a specific IP address or hostname.  IP addresses can
 869         be either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address if supported.  If IPv6
 870         is not supported, then --listen=&lt;hostname&gt; is also not supported and
 871         --listen must be given an IPv4 address.
 872         Can be given more than once.

 900         the time it takes for the server to process the sub-request and the
 901         time spent waiting for the next client&#8217;s request.

 927         Note that this option does not imply --verbose,

1089         Every time a client connects, first run an external command
1090         specified by the &lt;path&gt; with service name (e.g. "upload-pack"),
1091         path to the repository, hostname (%H), canonical hostname
1092         (%CH), IP address (%IP), and TCP port (%P) as its command-line
1093         arguments. The external command can decide to decline the
1094         service by exiting with a non-zero status (or to allow it by
1095         exiting with a zero status).  It can also look at the $REMOTE_ADDR
1096         and <code>$REMOTE_PORT</code> environment variables to learn about the
1097         requestor when making this decision.
1098 </p>
1099 <div class="paragraph"><p>The external command can optionally write a single line to its
1100 standard output to be sent to the requestor as an error message when
1101 it declines the service.</p></div>

1108         The remaining arguments provide a list of directories. If any
1109         directories are specified, then the <code>git-daemon</code> process will
1110         serve a requested directory only if it is contained in one of
1111         these directories. If <code>--strict-paths</code> is specified, then the
1112         requested directory must match one of these directories exactly.
