<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
|
|
<div class="sectionbody">
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>A simple CGI program to serve the contents of a Git repository to Git
|
|
clients accessing the repository over http:// and https:// protocols.
|
|
The program supports clients fetching using both the smart HTTP protocol
|
|
and the backwards-compatible dumb HTTP protocol, as well as clients
|
|
pushing using the smart HTTP protocol. It also supports Git’s
|
|
more-efficient "v2" protocol if properly configured; see the
|
|
discussion of <code>GIT_PROTOCOL</code> in the ENVIRONMENT section below.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>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
|
|
<code>GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL</code> environment variable is set).</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>By default, only the <code>upload-pack</code> service is enabled, which serves
|
|
<em>git fetch-pack</em> and <em>git ls-remote</em> clients, which are invoked from
|
|
<em>git fetch</em>, <em>git pull</em>, and <em>git clone</em>. If the client is authenticated,
|
|
the <code>receive-pack</code> service is enabled, which serves <em>git send-pack</em>
|
|
clients, which is invoked from <em>git push</em>.</p></div>

This serves Git clients older than version 1.6.6 that are unable to use the
|
|
upload pack service. When enabled, clients are able to read
|
|
any file within the repository, including objects that are
|
|
no longer reachable from a branch but are still present.

It is enabled by default, but a repository can disable it
|

by setting this configuration value to <code>false</code>.

the <code>http.receivepack</code> config option in any repositories that should

accept a push. The default behavior, if <code>http.receivepack</code> is not set,

is to reject any pushes by unauthenticated users; the initial request

will therefore report <code>403</code> <code>Forbidden</code> to the client, without even giving

an opportunity for authentication.</p></div>
