SYNOPSIS -------- -'git-daemon' [ --option ] <args>... +'git-daemon' [--inetd | --port=n] DESCRIPTION ----------- -Does something not yet documented. +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. + +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. +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. + +This is ideally suited for read-only updates, ie pulling from git repositories. OPTIONS ------- ---option:: - Some option not yet documented. - -<args>...:: - Some argument not yet documented. +--inetd:: + Have the server run as an inetd service. +--port:: + Listen on an alternative port.
