4 One of the following notations can be used
5 to name the remote repository:
7 ===============================================================
8 - rsync://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
9 - http://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
10 - https://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
11 - git://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
12 - git://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/
13 - ssh://host.xz/path/to/repo.git/
14 - ssh://host.xz/~user/path/to/repo.git/
15 - ssh://host.xz/~/path/to/repo.git
16 ===============================================================
18 SSH Is the default transport protocol and also supports an
19 scp-like syntax. Both syntaxes support username expansion,
20 as does the native git protocol. The following three are
21 identical to the last three above, respectively:
23 ===============================================================
24 - host.xz:/path/to/repo.git/
25 - host.xz:~user/path/to/repo.git/
26 - host.xz:path/to/repo.git
27 ===============================================================
29 To sync with a local directory, use:
31 ===============================================================
33 ===============================================================
38 In addition to the above, as a short-hand, the name of a
39 file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory can be given; the
40 named file should be in the following format:
42 URL: one of the above URL format
46 Then such a short-hand is specified in place of
47 <repository> without <refspec> parameters on the command
48 line, <refspec> specified on `Push:` lines or `Pull:`
49 lines are used for `git-push` and `git-fetch`/`git-pull`,
50 respectively. Multiple `Push:` and and `Pull:` lines may
51 be specified for additional branch mappings.
53 The name of a file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory can be
54 specified as an older notation short-hand; the named
55 file should contain a single line, a URL in one of the
56 above formats, optionally followed by a hash `#` and the
57 name of remote head (URL fragment notation).
58 `$GIT_DIR/branches/<remote>` file that stores a <url>
59 without the fragment is equivalent to have this in the
60 corresponding file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes/` directory.
63 Pull: refs/heads/master:<remote>
65 while having `<url>#<head>` is equivalent to
68 Pull: refs/heads/<head>:<remote>
