git-daemon(1) ============= NAME ---- git-daemon - A really simple server for GIT repositories. SYNOPSIS -------- 'git-daemon' [--inetd | --port=n] DESCRIPTION ----------- 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 ------- --inetd:: Have the server run as an inetd service. --port:: Listen on an alternative port.
