Another workaround suggested is to set + up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people + who do not want to pay the overhead for non-interactive + shells by having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of + the things up in .bash_profile). + +<host>:: + A remote host that houses the repository. When this + part is specified, 'git-upload-pack' is invoked via + ssh. + +<directory>:: + The repository to sync from. + +<head>...:: + The heads to update. This is relative to $GIT_DIR + (e.g. "HEAD", "refs/heads/master"). When unspecified, + all heads are updated to match the remote repository. ++ +Usually all the refs from existing repository are stored +under the same name in the new repository. Giving explicit +<head> arguments instead writes the object names and refs to +the standard output, just like get-fetch-pack does. + +Author +------ +Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano. + + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite + |
