SYNOPSIS

|
|
$GIT_DIR/*
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
You may find these things in your git repository (`.git`
|
|
directory for a repository associated with your working tree, or
|
|
`<project>.git` directory for a public 'bare' repository. It is
|
|
also possible to have a working tree where `.git` is a plain
|
|
ascii file containing `gitdir: <path>`, i.e. the path to the
|
|
real git repository).
|
|
|
|
objects::
|
|
Object store associated with this repository. Usually
|
|
an object store is self sufficient (i.e. all the objects
|
|
that are referred to by an object found in it are also
|
|
found in it), but there are couple of ways to violate
|
|
it.
|
|
+
|
|
. You could populate the repository by running a commit walker
|
|
without `-a` option. Depending on which options are given, you
|
|
could have only commit objects without associated blobs and
|
|
trees this way, for example. A repository with this kind of
|
|
incomplete object store is not suitable to be published to the
|
|
outside world but sometimes useful for private repository.
|
|
. You also could have an incomplete but locally usable repository
|
|
by cloning shallowly. See linkgit:git-clone[1].
|
|
. You can be using `objects/info/alternates` mechanism, or
|
|
`$GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES` mechanism to 'borrow'
|
|
objects from other object stores. A repository with this kind
|
|
of incomplete object store is not suitable to be published for
|
|
use with dumb transports but otherwise is OK as long as
|
|
`objects/info/alternates` points at the right object stores
|
|
it borrows from.
|
|
|
|
objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]::
|
|
Traditionally, each object is stored in its own file.
|
|
They are split into 256 subdirectories using the first
|
|
two letters from its object name to keep the number of
|
|
directory entries `objects` directory itself needs to
|
|
hold. Objects found here are often called 'unpacked'
|
|
(or 'loose') objects.
|
|
|
|
objects/pack::
|
|
Packs (files that store many object in compressed form,
|
|
along with index files to allow them to be randomly
|
|
accessed) are found in this directory.
|
|
|
|
objects/info::
|
|
Additional information about the object store is
|
|
recorded in this directory.
|
|
|
|
objects/info/packs::
|
|
This file is to help dumb transports discover what packs
|
|
are available in this object store. Whenever a pack is
|
|
added or removed, `git update-server-info` should be run
|
|
to keep this file up-to-date if the repository is
|
|
published for dumb transports. 'git-repack' does this
|
|
by default.
|
|
|
|
objects/info/alternates::
|
|
This file records paths to alternate object stores that
|
|
this object store borrows objects from, one pathname per
|
|
line. Note that not only native Git tools use it locally,
|
|
but the HTTP fetcher also tries to use it remotely; this
|
|
will usually work if you have relative paths (relative
|
|
to the object database, not to the repository!) in your
|
|
alternates file, but it will not work if you use absolute
|
|
paths unless the absolute path in filesystem and web URL
|
|
is the same. See also 'objects/info/http-alternates'.
|
|
|
|
objects/info/http-alternates::
|
|
This file records URLs to alternate object stores that
|
|
this object store borrows objects from, to be used when
|
|
the repository is fetched over HTTP.
|
|
|
|
refs::
|
|
References are stored in subdirectories of this
|
|
directory. The 'git-prune' command knows to keep
|
|
objects reachable from refs found in this directory and
|
|
its subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
refs/heads/`name`::
|
|
records tip-of-the-tree commit objects of branch `name`
|
|
|
|
refs/tags/`name`::
|
|
records any object name (not necessarily a commit
|
|
object, or a tag object that points at a commit object).
|
|
|
|
refs/remotes/`name`::
|
|
records tip-of-the-tree commit objects of branches copied
|
|
from a remote repository.
|
|
|
|
packed-refs::
|
|
records the same information as refs/heads/, refs/tags/,
|
|
and friends record in a more efficient way. See
|
|
linkgit:git-pack-refs[1].
|
|
|
|
HEAD::
|
|
A symref (see glossary) to the `refs/heads/` namespace
|
|
describing the currently active branch. It does not mean
|
|
much if the repository is not associated with any working tree
|
|
(i.e. a 'bare' repository), but a valid git repository
|
|
*must* have the HEAD file; some porcelains may use it to
|
|
guess the designated "default" branch of the repository
|
|
(usually 'master'). It is legal if the named branch
|
|
'name' does not (yet) exist. In some legacy setups, it is
|
|
a symbolic link instead of a symref that points at the current
|
|
branch.
|
|
+
|
|
HEAD can also record a specific commit directly, instead of
|
|
being a symref to point at the current branch. Such a state
|
|
is often called 'detached HEAD', and almost all commands work
|
|
identically as normal. See linkgit:git-checkout[1] for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
branches::
|
|
A slightly deprecated way to store shorthands to be used
|
|
to specify URL to 'git-fetch', 'git-pull' and 'git-push'
|
|
commands is to store a file in `branches/<name>` and
|
|
give 'name' to these commands in place of 'repository'
|
|
argument.
|
|
|
|
hooks::
|
|
Hooks are customization scripts used by various git
|
|
commands. A handful of sample hooks are installed when
|
|
'git-init' is run, but all of them are disabled by
|
|
default. To enable, they need to be made executable.
|
|
Read linkgit:githooks[5] for more details about
|
|
each hook.
|
|
|
|
index::
|
|
The current index file for the repository. It is
|
|
usually not found in a bare repository.
|
|
|
|
info::
|
|
Additional information about the repository is recorded
|
|
in this directory.
|
|
|
|
info/refs::
|
|
This file helps dumb transports discover what refs are
|
|
available in this repository. If the repository is
|
|
published for dumb transports, this file should be
|
|
regenerated by 'git-update-server-info' every time a tag
|
|
or branch is created or modified. This is normally done
|
|
from the `hooks/update` hook, which is run by the
|
|
'git-receive-pack' command when you 'git-push' into the
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
info/grafts::
|
|
This file records fake commit ancestry information, to
|
|
pretend the set of parents a commit has is different
|
|
from how the commit was actually created. One record
|
|
per line describes a commit and its fake parents by
|
|
listing their 40-byte hexadecimal object names separated
|
|
by a space and terminated by a newline.
|
|
|
|
info/exclude::
|
|
This file, by convention among Porcelains, stores the
|
|
exclude pattern list. `.gitignore` is the per-directory
|
|
ignore file. 'git-status', 'git-add', 'git-rm' and
|
|
'git-clean' look at it but the core git commands do not look
|
|
at it. See also: linkgit:gitignore[5].
|
|
|
|
remotes::
|
|
Stores shorthands to be used to give URL and default
|
|
refnames to interact with remote repository to
|
|
'git-fetch', 'git-pull' and 'git-push' commands.
|
|
|
|
logs::
|
|
Records of changes made to refs are stored in this
|
|
directory. See linkgit:git-update-ref[1]
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
logs/refs/heads/`name`::
|
|
Records all changes made to the branch tip named `name`.
|
|
|
|
logs/refs/tags/`name`::
|
|
Records all changes made to the tag named `name`.
|
|
|
|
shallow::
|
|
This is similar to `info/grafts` but is internally used
|
|
and maintained by shallow clone mechanism. See `--depth`
|
|
option to linkgit:git-clone[1] and linkgit:git-fetch[1].
