This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git fetch, push, or archive.</p>   <p>If only &lt;infd&gt; 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 &lt;infd&gt; and &lt;outfd&gt; are given, they are assumed to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (&lt;infd&gt; being the inbound pipe and &lt;outfd&gt; being the outbound pipe).</p>   <p>It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed (such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.</p>   <p>&lt;anything&gt; 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.</p>  </div>   <h2 id="_environment_variables">Environment variables</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="dlist"> <dl> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt-GITTRANSLOOPDEBUG"> GIT_TRANSLOOP_DEBUG </dt> <dd> <p>If set, prints debugging information about various reads/writes.</p> </dd> </dl> </div> </div>   <h2 id="_examples">Examples</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="dlist"> <dl> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt-codegitfetchfd17mastercode"> <code>git fetch fd::17 master</code> </dt> <dd> <p>Fetch master, using file descriptor #17 to communicate with git-upload-pack.</p> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt-codegitfetchfd17foomastercode"> <code>git fetch fd::17/foo master</code> </dt> <dd> <p>Same as above.</p> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt-codegitpushfd78masterasURLcode"> <code>git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)</code> </dt> <dd> <p>Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to the same service.</p> </dd> <dt class="hdlist1" id="Documentation/git-remote-fd.txt-codegitpushfd78barmastercode"> <code>git push fd::7,8/bar master</code> </dt> <dd> <p>Same as above.</p> </dd> </dl> </div> </div>   <h2 id="_see_also">See also</h2> <div class="sectionbody">  <p><a href="gitremote-helpers">gitremote-helpers[7]</a></p>  </div><div class="_attribution">
