GIT-REMOTE-FD(1)		  Git Manual		      GIT-REMOTE-FD(1)

NAME
       git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller

SYNOPSIS
       "fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)

DESCRIPTION
       This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git
       server. This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts
       calling git fetch, push, or archive.

       If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket
       connected to a remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, or
       git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are
       assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the
       inbound pipe and <outfd> being the outbound pipe).

       It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been
       completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this
       helper is started.

       <anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
       information to the user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in
       some context.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG
	   If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.

EXAMPLES
       git fetch fd::17 master
	   Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with
	   git-upload-pack.

       git fetch fd::17/foo master
	   Same as above.

       git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)
	   Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
	   git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to the same
	   service.

       git push fd::7,8/bar master
	   Same as above.
