вспомогательные программы для взаимодействия с удаленными репозиториями (Helper programs to interact with remote repositories)
Описание (Description)
Remote helper programs are normally not used directly by end
users, but they are invoked by Git when it needs to interact with
remote repositories Git does not support natively. A given helper
will implement a subset of the capabilities documented here. When
Git needs to interact with a repository using a remote helper, it
spawns the helper as an independent process, sends commands to
the helper's standard input, and expects results from the
helper's standard output. Because a remote helper runs as an
independent process from Git, there is no need to re-link Git to
add a new helper, nor any need to link the helper with the
implementation of Git.
Every helper must support the "capabilities" command, which Git
uses to determine what other commands the helper will accept.
Those other commands can be used to discover and update remote
refs, transport objects between the object database and the
remote repository, and update the local object store.
Git comes with a "curl" family of remote helpers, that handle
various transport protocols, such as git-remote-http,
git-remote-https, git-remote-ftp and git-remote-ftps. They
implement the capabilities fetch, option, and push.
