    git-remote-fd(1)
    ================
    
    NAME
    ----
    git-remote-fd - Reflect smart transport stream back to caller
    
    SYNOPSIS
    --------
    "fd::<infd>[,<outfd>][/<anything>]" (as URL)
    
    DESCRIPTION
    -----------
    This helper uses specified file descriptors to connect to a remote Git server.
    This is not meant for end users but for programs and scripts calling git
    fetch, push or archive.
    
    If only <infd> is given, it is assumed to be a bidirectional socket connected
    to remote Git server (git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack or
    git-upload-archive). If both <infd> and <outfd> are given, they are assumed
    to be pipes connected to a remote Git server (<infd> being the inbound pipe
    and <outfd> being the outbound pipe.
    
    It is assumed that any handshaking procedures have already been completed
    (such as sending service request for git://) before this helper is started.
    
    <anything> can be any string. It is ignored. It is meant for providing
    information to user in the URL in case that URL is displayed in some
    context.
    
    ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

    	git-upload-pack.
    
    `git fetch fd::17/foo master`::
    	Same as above.
    
    `git push fd::7,8 master (as URL)`::
    	Push master, using file descriptor #7 to read data from
    	git-receive-pack and file descriptor #8 to write data to
    	same service.
    
    `git push fd::7,8/bar master`::
    	Same as above.
