| .SH "NAME" |

| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| Downloads a remote Git repository via HTTP\&. |
| .sp |
| This command always gets all objects\&. Historically, there were three options \fB\-a\fR, \fB\-c\fR and \fB\-t\fR for choosing which objects to download\&. They are now silently ignored\&. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .PP |
| commit\-id |
| .RS 4 |
| Either the hash or the filename under [URL]/refs/ to pull\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-a, \-c, \-t |
| .RS 4 |
| These options are ignored for historical reasons\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-v |
| .RS 4 |
| Report what is downloaded\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-w <filename> |
| .RS 4 |
| Writes the commit\-id into the filename under $GIT_DIR/refs/<filename> on the local end after the transfer is complete\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-stdin |
| .RS 4 |
| Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this case), |
| \fIgit http\-fetch\fR |
| expects lines on stdin in the format |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| <commit\-id>[\(aq\et\(aq<filename\-as\-in\-\-w>] |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-packfile=<hash> |
| .RS 4 |
| For internal use only\&. Instead of a commit id on the command line (which is not expected in this case), |
| \fIgit http\-fetch\fR |
| fetches the packfile directly at the given URL and uses index\-pack to generate corresponding \&.idx and \&.keep files\&. The hash is used to determine the name of the temporary file and is arbitrary\&. The output of index\-pack is printed to stdout\&. Requires \-\-index\-pack\-args\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-index\-pack\-args=<args> |
| .RS 4 |
| For internal use only\&. The command to run on the contents of the downloaded pack\&. Arguments are URL\-encoded separated by spaces\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-recover |
| .RS 4 |
| Verify that everything reachable from target is fetched\&. Used after an earlier fetch is interrupted\&. |
| .RE |
| .SH "GIT" |
| .sp |
| Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite |
