git-bundle - Move objects and refs by archive

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git bundle' create <file> <git-rev-list args>
|
|

|

'git bundle' unbundle <file> [refname...]
|

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Some workflows require that one or more branches of development on one
|
|
machine be replicated on another machine, but the two machines cannot
|
|
be directly connected so the interactive git protocols (git, ssh,
|
|
rsync, http) cannot be used. This command provides support for
|
|
'git-fetch' and 'git-pull' to operate by packaging objects and references
|
|
in an archive at the originating machine, then importing those into
|
|
another repository using 'git-fetch' and 'git-pull'
|
|
after moving the archive by some means (i.e., by sneakernet). As no
|
|
direct connection between repositories exists, the user must specify a
|
|
basis for the bundle that is held by the destination repository: the
|
|
bundle assumes that all objects in the basis are already in the
|
|
destination repository.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
create <file>::
|
|
Used to create a bundle named 'file'. This requires the
|
|
'git-rev-list' arguments to define the bundle contents.
|
|
|
|
verify <file>::
|
|
Used to check that a bundle file is valid and will apply
|
|
cleanly to the current repository. This includes checks on the
|
|
bundle format itself as well as checking that the prerequisite
|
|
commits exist and are fully linked in the current repository.
|
|
'git-bundle' prints a list of missing commits, if any, and exits
|
|
with non-zero status.
|
|
|
|
list-heads <file>::
|
|
Lists the references defined in the bundle. If followed by a
|
|
list of references, only references matching those given are
|
|
printed out.
|
|
|
|
unbundle <file>::
|
|
Passes the objects in the bundle to 'git-index-pack'
|
|
for storage in the repository, then prints the names of all
|
|
defined references. If a reflist is given, only references
|
|
matching those in the given list are printed. This command is
|
|
really plumbing, intended to be called only by 'git-fetch'.
|
|
|
|
[git-rev-list-args...]::
|
|
A list of arguments, acceptable to 'git-rev-parse' and
|
|
'git-rev-list', that specify the specific objects and references
|
|
to transport. For example, "master~10..master" causes the
|
|
current master reference to be packaged along with all objects
|
|
added since its 10th ancestor commit. There is no explicit
|
|
limit to the number of references and objects that may be
|
|
packaged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[refname...]::
|
|
A list of references used to limit the references reported as
|
|
available. This is principally of use to 'git-fetch', which
|
|
expects to receive only those references asked for and not
|
|
necessarily everything in the pack (in this case, 'git-bundle' is
|
|
acting like 'git-fetch-pack').
|
|
|
|
SPECIFYING REFERENCES
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
'git-bundle' will only package references that are shown by
|
|
'git-show-ref': this includes heads, tags, and remote heads. References
|
|
such as master~1 cannot be packaged, but are perfectly suitable for
|
|
defining the basis. More than one reference may be packaged, and more
|
|
than one basis can be specified. The objects packaged are those not
|
|
contained in the union of the given bases. Each basis can be
|
|
specified explicitly (e.g., ^master~10), or implicitly (e.g.,
|
|
master~10..master, --since=10.days.ago master).
|
|
|
|
It is very important that the basis used be held by the destination.
|
|
It is okay to err on the side of conservatism, causing the bundle file
|
|
to contain objects already in the destination as these are ignored
|
|
when unpacking at the destination.
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Assume you want to transfer the history from a repository R1 on machine A
|
|
to another repository R2 on machine B.
|
|
For whatever reason, direct connection between A and B is not allowed,
|
|
but we can move data from A to B via some mechanism (CD, email, etc).
|
|
We want to update R2 with developments made on branch master in R1.
|
|
|
|
To bootstrap the process, you can first create a bundle that doesn't have
|
|
any basis. You can use a tag to remember up to what commit you sent out
|
|
in order to make it easy to later update the other repository with
|
|
incremental bundle,
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
machineA$ cd R1
|
|
machineA$ git bundle create file.bundle master
|
|
machineA$ git tag -f lastR2bundle master
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Then you sneakernet file.bundle to the target machine B. Because you don't
|
|
have to have any object to extract objects from such a bundle, not only
|
|
you can fetch/pull from a bundle, you can clone from it as if it was a
|
|
remote repository.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
machineB$ git clone /home/me/tmp/file.bundle R2
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This will define a remote called "origin" in the resulting repository that
|
|
lets you fetch and pull from the bundle. $GIT_DIR/config file in R2 may
|
|
have an entry like this:
|
|
|
|
------------------------
|
|
[remote "origin"]
|
|
url = /home/me/tmp/file.bundle
|
|
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
You can fetch/pull to update the resulting mine.git repository after
|
|
replacing the bundle you store at /home/me/tmp/file.bundle with incremental
|
|
updates from here on.
|
|
|
|
After working more in the original repository, you can create an
|
|
incremental bundle to update the other:
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
machineA$ cd R1
|
|
machineA$ git bundle create file.bundle lastR2bundle..master
|
|
machineA$ git tag -f lastR2bundle master
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
and sneakernet it to the other machine to replace /home/me/tmp/file.bundle,
|
|
and pull from it.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
machineB$ cd R2
|
|
machineB$ git pull
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
If you know up to what commit the intended recipient repository should
|
|
have the necessary objects for, you can use that knowledge to specify the
|
|
basis, giving a cut-off point to limit the revisions and objects that go
|
|
in the resulting bundle. The previous example used lastR2bundle tag
|
|
for this purpose, but you can use other options you would give to
|
|
the linkgit:git-log[1] command. Here are more examples:
|
|
|
|
You can use a tag that is present in both.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ git bundle create mybundle v1.0.0..master
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You can use a basis based on time.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ git bundle create mybundle --since=10.days master
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Or you can use the number of commits.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ git bundle create mybundle -10 master
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You can run `git-bundle verify` to see if you can extract from a bundle
|
|
that was created with a basis.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ git bundle verify mybundle
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
This will list what commits you must have in order to extract from the
|
|
bundle and will error out if you don't have them.
|
|
|
|
A bundle from a recipient repository's point of view is just like a
|
|
regular repository it fetches/pulls from. You can for example map
|
|
refs, like this example, when fetching:
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ git fetch mybundle master:localRef
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
Or see what refs it offers.
|
|
|
|
----------------
|
|
$ git ls-remote mybundle
|
|
----------------
