Even though AsciiDoc is more lenient when deciding if an underline is for the contents on the previous line to find section headers, we should match the length of them for other formatters to help them. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

REMOTES[[REMOTES]]
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The name of one of the following can be used instead
|
|
of a URL as `<repository>` argument:
|
|
|
|
* a remote in the Git configuration file: `$GIT_DIR/config`,
|
|
* a file in the `$GIT_DIR/remotes` directory, or
|
|
* a file in the `$GIT_DIR/branches` directory.
|
|
|
|
All of these also allow you to omit the refspec from the command line
|
|
because they each contain a refspec which git will use by default.
|
|
|
|
Named remote in configuration file
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can choose to provide the name of a remote which you had previously
|
|
configured using linkgit:git-remote[1], linkgit:git-config[1]
|
|
or even by a manual edit to the `$GIT_DIR/config` file. The URL of
|
|
this remote will be used to access the repository. The refspec
|
|
of this remote will be used by default when you do
|
|
not provide a refspec on the command line. The entry in the
|
|
config file would appear like this:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
[remote "<name>"]
|
|
url = <url>
|
|
pushurl = <pushurl>
|
|
push = <refspec>
|
|
fetch = <refspec>
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The `<pushurl>` is used for pushes only. It is optional and defaults
|
|
to `<url>`.
|
|
|
|
Named file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can choose to provide the name of a
|
|
file in `$GIT_DIR/remotes`. The URL
|
|
in this file will be used to access the repository. The refspec
|
|
in this file will be used as default when you do not
|
|
provide a refspec on the command line. This file should have the
|
|
following format:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
URL: one of the above URL format
|
|
Push: <refspec>
|
|
Pull: <refspec>
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`Push:` lines are used by 'git push' and
|
|
`Pull:` lines are used by 'git pull' and 'git fetch'.
|
|
Multiple `Push:` and `Pull:` lines may
|
|
be specified for additional branch mappings.
|
|
|
|
Named file in `$GIT_DIR/branches`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can choose to provide the name of a
|
|
file in `$GIT_DIR/branches`.
|
|
The URL in this file will be used to access the repository.
|
|
This file should have the following format:
|
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
<url>#<head>
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
`<url>` is required; `#<head>` is optional.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the operation, git will use one of the following
|
|
refspecs, if you don't provide one on the command line.
|
|
`<branch>` is the name of this file in `$GIT_DIR/branches` and
|
|
`<head>` defaults to `master`.
|
|
|
|
git fetch uses:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
refs/heads/<head>:refs/heads/<branch>
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
git push uses:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
HEAD:refs/heads/<head>
|
|
