NAME
git-receive-pack - Receive what is pushed into the repository
SYNOPSIS
git receive-pack [--reviewer <address> | --re <address>] [--cc <address>] <project>
DESCRIPTION
Invoked by 'git push' and updates the project’s repository with the information fed from the 'git push' end.
End users can supply options to this command by passing them through to 'git push', which will relay them automatically.
OPTIONS
- <project>
-
The remote repository that will receive the pushed objects, and create (or update) changes. Within Gerrit Code Review this is the name of a project. The optional leading
/
and or trailing.git
suffix will be removed, if supplied. - --reviewer <address>
- --re <address>
-
Automatically add <address> as a reviewer to any change. Deprecated, use
refs/for/branch%r=address
instead. - --cc <address>
-
Carbon-copy <address> on the created or updated changes. Deprecated, use
refs/for/branch%cc=address
instead.
ACCESS
Any user who has SSH access to Gerrit.
EXAMPLES
Send a review for a change on the master branch to charlie@example.com:
git push ssh://review.example.com:29418/project HEAD:refs/for/master%r=charlie@example.com
Send reviews, but tagging them with the topic name 'bug42':
git push ssh://review.example.com:29418/project HEAD:refs/for/master%r=charlie@example.com,topic=bug42
Also CC two other parties:
git push ssh://review.example.com:29418/project HEAD:refs/for/master%r=charlie@example.com,cc=alice@example.com,cc=bob@example.com
Configure a push macro to perform the last action:
git config remote.charlie.url ssh://review.example.com:29418/project git config remote.charlie.push HEAD:refs/for/master%r=charlie@example.com,cc=alice@example.com,cc=bob@example.com
afterwards .git/config
contains the following:
[remote "charlie"] url = ssh://review.example.com:29418/project push = HEAD:refs/for/master%r=charlie@example.com,cc=alice@example.com,cc=bob@example.com
and now sending a new change for review to charlie, CC’ing both alice and bob is much easier:
git push charlie
