Installations of sshd ignore the user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e\&.g\&. \&.bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on the system default $PATH\&. 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)\&. .TP A remote host that houses the repository\&. When this part is specified, git\-upload\-pack is invoked via ssh\&. .TP The repository to sync from\&. .TP ... 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 arguments instead writes the object names and refs to the standard output, just like get\-fetch\-pack does\&. .SH "AUTHOR" Written by Linus Torvalds .SH "DOCUMENTATION" Documentation by Junio C Hamano\&. .SH "GIT" Part of the \fBgit\fR(7) suite
