git-fetch-pack \- Receive missing objects from another repository

\fIgit fetch\-pack\fR [\-\-all] [\-\-quiet|\-q] [\-\-keep|\-k] [\-\-thin] [\-\-include\-tag]
        [\-\-upload\-pack=&lt;git\-upload\-pack&gt;]

.sp
.SH &quot;DESCRIPTION&quot;
.sp
Usually you would want to use \fIgit fetch\fR, which is a higher level wrapper of this command, instead\&amp;.
.sp
Invokes \fIgit\-upload\-pack\fR on a possibly remote repository and asks it to send objects missing from this repository, to update the named heads\&amp;. The list of commits available locally is found out by scanning the local refs/ hierarchy and sent to \fIgit\-upload\-pack\fR running on the other end\&amp;.
.sp
This command degenerates to download everything to complete the asked refs from the remote side when the local side does not have a common ancestor commit\&amp;.
.SH &quot;OPTIONS&quot;
.PP
\-\-all
.RS 4
Fetch all remote refs\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-stdin
.RS 4
Take the list of refs from stdin, one per line\&amp;. If there are refs specified on the command line in addition to this option, then the refs from stdin are processed after those on the command line\&amp;.
.sp
If
\fB\-\-stateless\-rpc\fR
is specified together with this option then the list of refs must be in packet format (pkt\-line)\&amp;. Each ref must be in a separate packet, and the list must end with a flush packet\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-q, \-\-quiet
.RS 4
Pass
\fB\-q\fR
flag to
\fIgit unpack\-objects\fR; this makes the cloning process less verbose\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-k, \-\-keep
.RS 4
Do not invoke
\fIgit unpack\-objects\fR
on received data, but create a single packfile out of it instead, and store it in the object database\&amp;. If provided twice then the pack is locked against repacking\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-thin
.RS 4
Fetch a &quot;thin&quot; pack, which records objects in deltified form based on objects not included in the pack to reduce network traffic\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-include\-tag
.RS 4
If the remote side supports it, annotated tags objects will be downloaded on the same connection as the other objects if the object the tag references is downloaded\&amp;. The caller must otherwise determine the tags this option made available\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-upload\-pack=&lt;git\-upload\-pack&gt;
.RS 4
Use this to specify the path to
\fIgit\-upload\-pack\fR
on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH\&amp;. Installations of sshd ignores the user\(cqs environment setup scripts for login shells (e\&amp;.g\&amp;. \&amp;.bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on the system default $PATH\&amp;. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in &quot;\&amp;.bashrc&quot;, but this flag is for people who do not want to pay the overhead for non\-interactive shells by having a lean \&amp;.bashrc file (they set most of the things up in \&amp;.bash_profile)\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-exec=&lt;git\-upload\-pack&gt;
.RS 4
Same as \-\-upload\-pack=&lt;git\-upload\-pack&gt;\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-depth=&lt;n&gt;
.RS 4
Limit fetching to ancestor\-chains not longer than n\&amp;.
\fIgit\-upload\-pack\fR
treats the special depth 2147483647 as infinite even if there is an ancestor\-chain that long\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-shallow\-since=&lt;date&gt;
.RS 4
Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to include all reachable commits after &lt;date&gt;\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-shallow\-exclude=&lt;ref&gt;
.RS 4
Deepen or shorten the history of a shallow repository to exclude commits reachable from a specified remote branch or tag\&amp;. This option can be specified multiple times\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-deepen\-relative
.RS 4
Argument \-\-depth specifies the number of commits from the current shallow boundary instead of from the tip of each remote branch history\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-refetch
.RS 4
Skips negotiating commits with the server in order to fetch all matching objects\&amp;. Use to reapply a new partial clone blob/tree filter\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-no\-progress
.RS 4
Do not show the progress\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-\-check\-self\-contained\-and\-connected
.RS 4
Output &quot;connectivity\-ok&quot; if the received pack is self\-contained and connected\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
\-v
.RS 4
Run verbosely\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
&lt;repository&gt;
.RS 4
The URL to the remote repository\&amp;.
.RE
.PP
&lt;refs&gt;\&amp;...
.RS 4
The remote heads to update from\&amp;. This is relative to $GIT_DIR (e\&amp;.g\&amp;. &quot;HEAD&quot;, &quot;refs/heads/master&quot;)\&amp;. When unspecified, update from all heads the remote side has\&amp;.
.sp
If the remote has enabled the options
\fBuploadpack\&amp;.allowTipSHA1InWant\fR,
\fBuploadpack\&amp;.allowReachableSHA1InWant\fR, or
\fBuploadpack\&amp;.allowAnySHA1InWant\fR, they may alternatively be 40\-hex sha1s present on the remote\&amp;.
