Class TransportGitSsh

All Implemented Interfaces:
AutoCloseable, PackTransport

public class TransportGitSsh extends SshTransport implements PackTransport
Transport through an SSH tunnel.

The SSH transport requires the remote side to have Git installed, as the transport logs into the remote system and executes a Git helper program on the remote side to read (or write) the remote repository's files.

This transport does not support direct SCP style of copying files, as it assumes there are Git specific smarts on the remote side to perform object enumeration, save file modification and hook execution.

  • Method Details

    • openFetch

      public FetchConnection openFetch() throws TransportException
      Description copied from class: Transport
      Begins a new connection for fetching from the remote repository.

      If the transport has no local repository, the fetch connection can only be used for reading remote refs.

      Specified by:
      openFetch in class Transport
      Returns:
      a fresh connection to fetch from the remote repository.
      Throws:
      TransportException - the remote connection could not be established.
    • openFetch

      public FetchConnection openFetch(Collection<RefSpec> refSpecs, String... additionalPatterns) throws NotSupportedException, TransportException
      Description copied from class: Transport
      Begins a new connection for fetching from the remote repository.

      If the transport has no local repository, the fetch connection can only be used for reading remote refs.

      If the server supports git protocol V2, the RefSpecs and the additional patterns, if any, are used to restrict the server's ref advertisement to matching refs only.

      Transports that want to support git protocol V2 must override this; the default implementation ignores its arguments and calls Transport.openFetch().

      Overrides:
      openFetch in class Transport
      Parameters:
      refSpecs - that will be fetched via FetchConnection.fetch(ProgressMonitor, Collection, java.util.Set, OutputStream) later
      additionalPatterns - that will be set as ref prefixes if the server supports git protocol V2; null values are ignored
      Returns:
      a fresh connection to fetch from the remote repository.
      Throws:
      NotSupportedException - the implementation does not support fetching.
      TransportException - the remote connection could not be established.
    • openPush

      public PushConnection openPush() throws TransportException
      Description copied from class: Transport
      Begins a new connection for pushing into the remote repository.
      Specified by:
      openPush in class Transport
      Returns:
      a fresh connection to push into the remote repository.
      Throws:
      TransportException - the remote connection could not be established
