NAME         top

       gitprotocol-pack - How packs are transferred over-the-wire

SYNOPSIS         top

       <over-the-wire-protocol>

DESCRIPTION         top

       Git supports transferring data in packfiles over the ssh://,
       git://, http:// and file:// transports. There exist two sets of
       protocols, one for pushing data from a client to a server and
       another for fetching data from a server to a client. The three
       transports (ssh, git, file) use the same protocol to transfer
       data. http is documented in gitprotocol-http(5).

       The processes invoked in the canonical Git implementation are
       upload-pack on the server side and fetch-pack on the client side
       for fetching data; then receive-pack on the server and send-pack
       on the client for pushing data. The protocol functions to have a
       server tell a client what is currently on the server, then for
       the two to negotiate the smallest amount of data to send in order
       to fully update one or the other.

PKT-LINE FORMAT         top

       The descriptions below build on the pkt-line format described in
       gitprotocol-common(5). When the grammar indicates PKT-LINE(...),
       unless otherwise noted the usual pkt-line LF rules apply: the
       sender SHOULD include a LF, but the receiver MUST NOT complain if
       it is not present.

       An error packet is a special pkt-line that contains an error
       string.

             error-line     =  PKT-LINE("ERR" SP explanation-text)

       Throughout the protocol, where PKT-LINE(...) is expected, an
       error packet MAY be sent. Once this packet is sent by a client or
       a server, the data transfer process defined in this protocol is
       terminated.

TRANSPORTS         top

       There are three transports over which the packfile protocol is
       initiated. The Git transport is a simple, unauthenticated server
       that takes the command (almost always upload-pack, though Git
       servers can be configured to be globally writable, in which
       receive- pack initiation is also allowed) with which the client
       wishes to communicate and executes it and connects it to the
       requesting process.

       In the SSH transport, the client just runs the upload-pack or
       receive-pack process on the server over the SSH protocol and then
       communicates with that invoked process over the SSH connection.

       The file:// transport runs the upload-pack or receive-pack
       process locally and communicates with it over a pipe.

EXTRA PARAMETERS         top

       The protocol provides a mechanism in which clients can send
       additional information in its first message to the server. These
       are called "Extra Parameters", and are supported by the Git, SSH,
       and HTTP protocols.

       Each Extra Parameter takes the form of <key>=<value> or <key>.

       Servers that receive any such Extra Parameters MUST ignore all
       unrecognized keys. Currently, the only Extra Parameter recognized
       is "version" with a value of 1 or 2. See gitprotocol-v2(5) for
       more information on protocol version 2.

GIT TRANSPORT         top

       The Git transport starts off by sending the command and
       repository on the wire using the pkt-line format, followed by a
       NUL byte and a hostname parameter, terminated by a NUL byte.

           0033git-upload-pack /project.git\0host=myserver.com\0

       The transport may send Extra Parameters by adding an additional
       NUL byte, and then adding one or more NUL-terminated strings:

           003egit-upload-pack /project.git\0host=myserver.com\0\0version=1\0

           git-proto-request = request-command SP pathname NUL
                               [ host-parameter NUL ] [ NUL extra-parameters ]
           request-command   = "git-upload-pack" / "git-receive-pack" /
                               "git-upload-archive"   ; case sensitive
           pathname          = *( %x01-ff ) ; exclude NUL
           host-parameter    = "host=" hostname [ ":" port ]
           extra-parameters  = 1*extra-parameter
           extra-parameter   = 1*( %x01-ff ) NUL

       host-parameter is used for the git-daemon name based virtual
       hosting. See --interpolated-path option to git daemon, with the
       %H/%CH format characters.

       Basically what the Git client is doing to connect to an
       upload-pack process on the server side over the Git protocol is
       this:

           $ echo -e -n \
             "003agit-upload-pack /schacon/gitbook.git\0host=example.com\0" |
             nc -v example.com 9418

SSH TRANSPORT         top

       Initiating the upload-pack or receive-pack processes over SSH is
       executing the binary on the server via SSH remote execution. It
       is basically equivalent to running this:

           $ ssh git.example.com "git-upload-pack '/project.git'"

       For a server to support Git pushing and pulling for a given user
       over SSH, that user needs to be able to execute one or both of
       those commands via the SSH shell that they are provided on login.
       On some systems, that shell access is limited to only being able
       to run those two commands, or even just one of them.

       In an ssh:// format URI, it’s absolute in the URI, so the / after
       the host name (or port number) is sent as an argument, which is
       then read by the remote git-upload-pack exactly as is, so it’s
       effectively an absolute path in the remote filesystem.

              git clone ssh://[email protected]/project.git
                           |
                           v
           ssh [email protected] "git-upload-pack '/project.git'"

       In a "user@host:path" format URI, it’s relative to the user’s
       home directory, because the Git client will run:

              git clone [email protected]:project.git
                             |
                             v
           ssh [email protected] "git-upload-pack 'project.git'"

       The exception is if a ~ is used, in which case we execute it
       without the leading /.

              ssh://[email protected]/~alice/project.git,
                             |
                             v
           ssh [email protected] "git-upload-pack '~alice/project.git'"

       Depending on the value of the protocol.version configuration
       variable, Git may attempt to send Extra Parameters as a
       colon-separated string in the GIT_PROTOCOL environment variable.
       This is done only if the ssh.variant configuration variable
       indicates that the ssh command supports passing environment
       variables as an argument.

       A few things to remember here:

       •   The "command name" is spelled with dash (e.g.
           git-upload-pack), but this can be overridden by the client;

       •   The repository path is always quoted with single quotes.

FETCHING DATA FROM A SERVER         top

       When one Git repository wants to get data that a second
       repository has, the first can fetch from the second. This
       operation determines what data the server has that the client
       does not then streams that data down to the client in packfile
       format.

REFERENCE DISCOVERY         top

       When the client initially connects the server will immediately
       respond with a version number (if "version=1" is sent as an Extra
       Parameter), and a listing of each reference it has (all branches
       and tags) along with the object name that each reference
       currently points to.

           $ echo -e -n "0045git-upload-pack /schacon/gitbook.git\0host=example.com\0\0version=1\0" |
              nc -v example.com 9418

           00441d3fcd5ced445d1abc402225c0b8a1299641f497 refs/heads/integration
           003f7217a7c7e582c46cec22a130adf4b9d7d950fba0 refs/heads/master

           003fe92df48743b7bc7d26bcaabfddde0a1e20cae47c refs/tags/v1.0^{}
           0000

       The returned response is a pkt-line stream describing each ref
       and its current value. The stream MUST be sorted by name
       according to the C locale ordering.

       If HEAD is a valid ref, HEAD MUST appear as the first advertised
       ref. If HEAD is not a valid ref, HEAD MUST NOT appear in the
       advertisement list at all, but other refs may still appear.

       The stream MUST include capability declarations behind a NUL on
       the first ref. The peeled value of a ref (that is "ref^{}") MUST
       be immediately after the ref itself, if presented. A conforming
       server MUST peel the ref if it’s an annotated tag.

             advertised-refs  =  *1("version 1")
                                 (no-refs / list-of-refs)
                                 *shallow
                                 flush-pkt

             no-refs          =  PKT-LINE(zero-id SP "capabilities^{}"
                                 NUL capability-list)

             list-of-refs     =  first-ref *other-ref
             first-ref        =  PKT-LINE(obj-id SP refname
                                 NUL capability-list)

             other-ref        =  PKT-LINE(other-tip / other-peeled)
             other-tip        =  obj-id SP refname
             other-peeled     =  obj-id SP refname "^{}"

             shallow          =  PKT-LINE("shallow" SP obj-id)

             capability-list  =  capability *(SP capability)
             capability       =  1*(LC_ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "_")
             LC_ALPHA         =  %x61-7A

       Server and client MUST use lowercase for obj-id, both MUST treat
       obj-id as case-insensitive.

       See protocol-capabilities.txt for a list of allowed server
       capabilities and descriptions.

PACKFILE NEGOTIATION         top

       After reference and capabilities discovery, the client can decide
       to terminate the connection by sending a flush-pkt, telling the
       server it can now gracefully terminate, and disconnect, when it
       does not need any pack data. This can happen with the ls-remote
       command, and also can happen when the client already is up to
       date.

       Otherwise, it enters the negotiation phase, where the client and
       server determine what the minimal packfile necessary for
       transport is, by telling the server what objects it wants, its
       shallow objects (if any), and the maximum commit depth it wants
       (if any). The client will also send a list of the capabilities it
       wants to be in effect, out of what the server said it could do
       with the first want line.

             upload-request    =  want-list
                                  *shallow-line
                                  *1depth-request
                                  [filter-request]
                                  flush-pkt

             want-list         =  first-want
                                  *additional-want

             shallow-line      =  PKT-LINE("shallow" SP obj-id)

             depth-request     =  PKT-LINE("deepen" SP depth) /
                                  PKT-LINE("deepen-since" SP timestamp) /
                                  PKT-LINE("deepen-not" SP ref)

             first-want        =  PKT-LINE("want" SP obj-id SP capability-list)
             additional-want   =  PKT-LINE("want" SP obj-id)

             depth             =  1*DIGIT

             filter-request    =  PKT-LINE("filter" SP filter-spec)

       Clients MUST send all the obj-ids it wants from the reference
       discovery phase as want lines. Clients MUST send at least one
       want command in the request body. Clients MUST NOT mention an
       obj-id in a want command which did not appear in the response
       obtained through ref discovery.

       The client MUST write all obj-ids which it only has shallow
       copies of (meaning that it does not have the parents of a commit)
       as shallow lines so that the server is aware of the limitations
       of the client’s history.

       The client now sends the maximum commit history depth it wants
       for this transaction, which is the number of commits it wants
       from the tip of the history, if any, as a deepen line. A depth of
       0 is the same as not making a depth request. The client does not
       want to receive any commits beyond this depth, nor does it want
       objects needed only to complete those commits. Commits whose
       parents are not received as a result are defined as shallow and
       marked as such in the server. This information is sent back to
       the client in the next step.

       The client can optionally request that pack-objects omit various
       objects from the packfile using one of several filtering
       techniques. These are intended for use with partial clone and
       partial fetch operations. An object that does not meet a
       filter-spec value is omitted unless explicitly requested in a
       want line. See rev-list for possible filter-spec values.

       Once all the want’s and 'shallow’s (and optional 'deepen) are
       transferred, clients MUST send a flush-pkt, to tell the server
       side that it is done sending the list.

       Otherwise, if the client sent a positive depth request, the
       server will determine which commits will and will not be shallow
       and send this information to the client. If the client did not
       request a positive depth, this step is skipped.

             shallow-update   =  *shallow-line
                                 *unshallow-line
                                 flush-pkt

             shallow-line     =  PKT-LINE("shallow" SP obj-id)

             unshallow-line   =  PKT-LINE("unshallow" SP obj-id)

       If the client has requested a positive depth, the server will
       compute the set of commits which are no deeper than the desired
       depth. The set of commits starts at the client’s wants.

       The server writes shallow lines for each commit whose parents
       will not be sent as a result. The server writes an unshallow line
       for each commit which the client has indicated is shallow, but is
       no longer shallow at the currently requested depth (that is, its
       parents will now be sent). The server MUST NOT mark as unshallow
       anything which the client has not indicated was shallow.

       Now the client will send a list of the obj-ids it has using have
       lines, so the server can make a packfile that only contains the
       objects that the client needs. In multi_ack mode, the canonical
       implementation will send up to 32 of these at a time, then will
       send a flush-pkt. The canonical implementation will skip ahead
       and send the next 32 immediately, so that there is always a block
       of 32 "in-flight on the wire" at a time.

             upload-haves      =  have-list
                                  compute-end

             have-list         =  *have-line
             have-line         =  PKT-LINE("have" SP obj-id)
             compute-end       =  flush-pkt / PKT-LINE("done")

       If the server reads have lines, it then will respond by ACKing
       any of the obj-ids the client said it had that the server also
       has. The server will ACK obj-ids differently depending on which
       ack mode is chosen by the client.

       In multi_ack mode:

       •   the server will respond with ACK obj-id continue for any
           common commits.

       •   once the server has found an acceptable common base commit
           and is ready to make a packfile, it will blindly ACK all have
           obj-ids back to the client.

       •   the server will then send a NAK and then wait for another
           response from the client - either a done or another list of
           have lines.

       In multi_ack_detailed mode:

       •   the server will differentiate the ACKs where it is signaling
           that it is ready to send data with ACK obj-id ready lines,
           and signals the identified common commits with ACK obj-id
           common lines.

       Without either multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed:

       •   upload-pack sends "ACK obj-id" on the first common object it
           finds. After that it says nothing until the client gives it a
           "done".

       •   upload-pack sends "NAK" on a flush-pkt if no common object
           has been found yet. If one has been found, and thus an ACK
           was already sent, it’s silent on the flush-pkt.

       After the client has gotten enough ACK responses that it can
       determine that the server has enough information to send an
       efficient packfile (in the canonical implementation, this is
       determined when it has received enough ACKs that it can color
       everything left in the --date-order queue as common with the
       server, or the --date-order queue is empty), or the client
       determines that it wants to give up (in the canonical
       implementation, this is determined when the client sends 256 have
       lines without getting any of them ACKed by the server - meaning
       there is nothing in common and the server should just send all of
       its objects), then the client will send a done command. The done
       command signals to the server that the client is ready to receive
       its packfile data.

       However, the 256 limit only turns on in the canonical client
       implementation if we have received at least one "ACK %s continue"
       during a prior round. This helps to ensure that at least one
       common ancestor is found before we give up entirely.

       Once the done line is read from the client, the server will
       either send a final ACK obj-id or it will send a NAK. obj-id is
       the object name of the last commit determined to be common. The
       server only sends ACK after done if there is at least one common
       base and multi_ack or multi_ack_detailed is enabled. The server
       always sends NAK after done if there is no common base found.

       Instead of ACK or NAK, the server may send an error message (for
       example, if it does not recognize an object in a want line
       received from the client).

       Then the server will start sending its packfile data.

             server-response = *ack_multi ack / nak
             ack_multi       = PKT-LINE("ACK" SP obj-id ack_status)
             ack_status      = "continue" / "common" / "ready"
             ack             = PKT-LINE("ACK" SP obj-id)
             nak             = PKT-LINE("NAK")

       A simple clone may look like this (with no have lines):

              C: 0054want 74730d410fcb6603ace96f1dc55ea6196122532d multi_ack \
                side-band-64k ofs-delta\n
              C: 0032want 7d1665144a3a975c05f1f43902ddaf084e784dbe\n
              C: 0032want 5a3f6be755bbb7deae50065988cbfa1ffa9ab68a\n
              C: 0032want 7e47fe2bd8d01d481f44d7af0531bd93d3b21c01\n
              C: 0032want 74730d410fcb6603ace96f1dc55ea6196122532d\n
              C: 0000
              C: 0009done\n

              S: 0008NAK\n

PACKFILE DATA         top

       Now that the client and server have finished negotiation about
       what the minimal amount of data that needs to be sent to the
       client is, the server will construct and send the required data
       in packfile format.

       See gitformat-pack(5) for what the packfile itself actually looks
       like.

       If side-band or side-band-64k capabilities have been specified by
       the client, the server will send the packfile data multiplexed.

       Each packet starting with the packet-line length of the amount of
       data that follows, followed by a single byte specifying the
       sideband the following data is coming in on.

       In side-band mode, it will send up to 999 data bytes plus 1
       control code, for a total of up to 1000 bytes in a pkt-line. In
       side-band-64k mode it will send up to 65519 data bytes plus 1
       control code, for a total of up to 65520 bytes in a pkt-line.

       The sideband byte will be a 1, 2 or a 3. Sideband 1 will contain
       packfile data, sideband 2 will be used for progress information
       that the client will generally print to stderr and sideband 3 is
       used for error information.

       If no side-band capability was specified, the server will stream
       the entire packfile without multiplexing.

PUSHING DATA TO A SERVER         top

       Pushing data to a server will invoke the receive-pack process on
       the server, which will allow the client to tell it which
       references it should update and then send all the data the server
       will need for those new references to be complete. Once all the
       data is received and validated, the server will then update its
       references to what the client specified.

AUTHENTICATION         top

       The protocol itself contains no authentication mechanisms. That
       is to be handled by the transport, such as SSH, before the
       receive-pack process is invoked. If receive-pack is configured
       over the Git transport, those repositories will be writable by
       anyone who can access that port (9418) as that transport is
       unauthenticated.

REFERENCE DISCOVERY         top

       The reference discovery phase is done nearly the same way as it
       is in the fetching protocol. Each reference obj-id and name on
       the server is sent in packet-line format to the client, followed
       by a flush-pkt. The only real difference is that the capability
       listing is different - the only possible values are
       report-status, report-status-v2, delete-refs, ofs-delta, atomic
       and push-options.

REFERENCE UPDATE REQUEST AND PACKFILE TRANSFER         top

       Once the client knows what references the server is at, it can
       send a list of reference update requests. For each reference on
       the server that it wants to update, it sends a line listing the
       obj-id currently on the server, the obj-id the client would like
       to update it to and the name of the reference.

       This list is followed by a flush-pkt.

             update-requests   =  *shallow ( command-list | push-cert )

             shallow           =  PKT-LINE("shallow" SP obj-id)

             command-list      =  PKT-LINE(command NUL capability-list)
                                  *PKT-LINE(command)
                                  flush-pkt

             command           =  create / delete / update
             create            =  zero-id SP new-id  SP name
             delete            =  old-id  SP zero-id SP name
             update            =  old-id  SP new-id  SP name

             old-id            =  obj-id
             new-id            =  obj-id

             push-cert         = PKT-LINE("push-cert" NUL capability-list LF)
                                 PKT-LINE("certificate version 0.1" LF)
                                 PKT-LINE("pusher" SP ident LF)
                                 PKT-LINE("pushee" SP url LF)
                                 PKT-LINE("nonce" SP nonce LF)
                                 *PKT-LINE("push-option" SP push-option LF)
                                 PKT-LINE(LF)
                                 *PKT-LINE(command LF)
                                 *PKT-LINE(gpg-signature-lines LF)
                                 PKT-LINE("push-cert-end" LF)

             push-option       =  1*( VCHAR | SP )

       If the server has advertised the push-options capability and the
       client has specified push-options as part of the capability list
       above, the client then sends its push options followed by a
       flush-pkt.

             push-options      =  *PKT-LINE(push-option) flush-pkt

       For backwards compatibility with older Git servers, if the client
       sends a push cert and push options, it MUST send its push options
       both embedded within the push cert and after the push cert. (Note
       that the push options within the cert are prefixed, but the push
       options after the cert are not.) Both these lists MUST be the
       same, modulo the prefix.

       After that the packfile that should contain all the objects that
       the server will need to complete the new references will be sent.

             packfile          =  "PACK" 28*(OCTET)

       If the receiving end does not support delete-refs, the sending
       end MUST NOT ask for delete command.

       If the receiving end does not support push-cert, the sending end
       MUST NOT send a push-cert command. When a push-cert command is
       sent, command-list MUST NOT be sent; the commands recorded in the
       push certificate is used instead.

       The packfile MUST NOT be sent if the only command used is delete.

       A packfile MUST be sent if either create or update command is
       used, even if the server already has all the necessary objects.
       In this case the client MUST send an empty packfile. The only
       time this is likely to happen is if the client is creating a new
       branch or a tag that points to an existing obj-id.

       The server will receive the packfile, unpack it, then validate
       each reference that is being updated that it hasn’t changed while
       the request was being processed (the obj-id is still the same as
       the old-id), and it will run any update hooks to make sure that
       the update is acceptable. If all of that is fine, the server will
       then update the references.

PUSH CERTIFICATE         top

       A push certificate begins with a set of header lines. After the
       header and an empty line, the protocol commands follow, one per
       line. Note that the trailing LF in push-cert PKT-LINEs is not
       optional; it must be present.

       Currently, the following header fields are defined:

       pusher ident
           Identify the GPG key in "Human Readable Name
           <email@address[1]>" format.

       pushee url
           The repository URL (anonymized, if the URL contains
           authentication material) the user who ran git push intended
           to push into.

       nonce nonce
           The nonce string the receiving repository asked the pushing
           user to include in the certificate, to prevent replay
           attacks.

       The GPG signature lines are a detached signature for the contents
       recorded in the push certificate before the signature block
       begins. The detached signature is used to certify that the
       commands were given by the pusher, who must be the signer.

REPORT STATUS         top

       After receiving the pack data from the sender, the receiver sends
       a report if report-status or report-status-v2 capability is in
       effect. It is a short listing of what happened in that update. It
       will first list the status of the packfile unpacking as either
       unpack ok or unpack [error]. Then it will list the status for
       each of the references that it tried to update. Each line is
       either ok [refname] if the update was successful, or ng [refname]
       [error] if the update was not.

             report-status     = unpack-status
                                 1*(command-status)
                                 flush-pkt

             unpack-status     = PKT-LINE("unpack" SP unpack-result)
             unpack-result     = "ok" / error-msg

             command-status    = command-ok / command-fail
             command-ok        = PKT-LINE("ok" SP refname)
             command-fail      = PKT-LINE("ng" SP refname SP error-msg)

             error-msg         = 1*(OCTET) ; where not "ok"

       The report-status-v2 capability extends the protocol by adding
       new option lines in order to support reporting of reference
       rewritten by the proc-receive hook. The proc-receive hook may
       handle a command for a pseudo-reference which may create or
       update one or more references, and each reference may have
       different name, different new-oid, and different old-oid.

             report-status-v2  = unpack-status
                                 1*(command-status-v2)
                                 flush-pkt

             unpack-status     = PKT-LINE("unpack" SP unpack-result)
             unpack-result     = "ok" / error-msg

             command-status-v2 = command-ok-v2 / command-fail
             command-ok-v2     = command-ok
                                 *option-line

             command-ok        = PKT-LINE("ok" SP refname)
             command-fail      = PKT-LINE("ng" SP refname SP error-msg)

             error-msg         = 1*(OCTET) ; where not "ok"

             option-line       = *1(option-refname)
                                 *1(option-old-oid)
                                 *1(option-new-oid)
                                 *1(option-forced-update)

             option-refname    = PKT-LINE("option" SP "refname" SP refname)
             option-old-oid    = PKT-LINE("option" SP "old-oid" SP obj-id)
             option-new-oid    = PKT-LINE("option" SP "new-oid" SP obj-id)
             option-force      = PKT-LINE("option" SP "forced-update")

       Updates can be unsuccessful for a number of reasons. The
       reference can have changed since the reference discovery phase
       was originally sent, meaning someone pushed in the meantime. The
       reference being pushed could be a non-fast-forward reference and
       the update hooks or configuration could be set to not allow that,
       etc. Also, some references can be updated while others can be
       rejected.

       An example client/server communication might look like this:
