22 git-daemon \- A really simple server for git repositories.
26 git\-daemon [\-\-verbose] [\-\-syslog] [\-\-inetd | \-\-port=n] [\-\-export\-all]
27 [\-\-timeout=n] [\-\-init\-timeout=n] [\-\-strict\-paths]
28 [\-\-base\-path=path] [directory...]
34 A really simple TCP git daemon that normally listens on port "DEFAULT_GIT_PORT" aka 9418\&. It waits for a connection, and will just execute "git\-upload\-pack" when it gets one\&.
37 It's careful in that there's a magic request\-line that gives the command and what directory to upload, and it verifies that the directory is ok\&.
40 It verifies that the directory has the magic file "git\-daemon\-export\-ok", and it will refuse to export any git directory that hasn't explicitly been marked for export this way (unless the \-\-export\-all parameter is specified)\&. If you pass some directory paths as git\-daemon arguments, you can further restrict the offers to a whitelist comprising of those\&.
43 This is ideally suited for read\-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories\&.
49 Match paths exactly (i\&.e\&. don't allow "/foo/repo" when the real path is "/foo/repo\&.git" or "/foo/repo/\&.git") and don't do user\-relative paths\&. git\-daemon will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no whitelist is specified\&.
53 Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path\&. This is sort of "GIT root" \- if you run git\-daemon with \-\-base\-path=/srv/git on example\&.com, then if you later try to pull git://example\&.com/hello\&.git, git\-daemon will interpret the path as /srv/git/hello\&.git\&. Home directories (the ~login notation) access is disabled\&.
57 Allow pulling from all directories that look like GIT repositories (have the objects and refs subdirectories), even if they do not have the git\-daemon\-export\-ok file\&.
61 Have the server run as an inetd service\&. Implies \-\-syslog\&.
65 Listen on an alternative port\&.
69 Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the client request is received (typically a rather low value, since that should be basically immediate)\&.
73 Timeout for specific client sub\-requests\&. This includes the time it takes for the server to process the sub\-request and time spent waiting for next client's request\&.
77 Log to syslog instead of stderr\&. Note that this option does not imply \-\-verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged\&.
81 Log details about the incoming connections and requested files\&.
85 A directory to add to the whitelist of allowed directories\&. Unless \-\-strict\-paths is specified this will also include subdirectories of each named directory\&.
