GITNAMESPACES(7)                                 Git Manual                                 GITNAMESPACES(7)



NAME
       gitnamespaces - Git namespaces

SYNOPSIS
       GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace> git upload-pack
       GIT_NAMESPACE=<namespace> git receive-pack


DESCRIPTION
       Git supports dividing the refs of a single repository into multiple namespaces, each of which has its
       own branches, tags, and HEAD. Git can expose each namespace as an independent repository to pull from
       and push to, while sharing the object store, and exposing all the refs to operations such as git-gc(1). gitgc(1).
       gc(1).

       Storing multiple repositories as namespaces of a single repository avoids storing duplicate copies of
       the same objects, such as when storing multiple branches of the same source. The alternates mechanism
       provides similar support for avoiding duplicates, but alternates do not prevent duplication between
       new objects added to the repositories without ongoing maintenance, while namespaces do.

       To specify a namespace, set the GIT_NAMESPACE environment variable to the namespace. For each ref
       namespace, Git stores the corresponding refs in a directory under refs/namespaces/. For example,
       GIT_NAMESPACE=foo will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/. You can also specify namespaces via the
       --namespace option to git(1).

       Note that namespaces which include a / will expand to a hierarchy of namespaces; for example,
       GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar will store refs under refs/namespaces/foo/refs/namespaces/bar/. This makes
       paths in GIT_NAMESPACE behave hierarchically, so that cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo/bar produces the
       same result as cloning with GIT_NAMESPACE=foo and cloning from that repo with GIT_NAMESPACE=bar. It
       also avoids ambiguity with strange namespace paths such as foo/refs/heads/, which could otherwise
       generate directory/file conflicts within the refs directory.

       git-upload-pack(1) and git-receive-pack(1) rewrite the names of refs as specified by GIT_NAMESPACE.
       git-upload-pack and git-receive-pack will ignore all references outside the specified namespace.

       The smart HTTP server, git-http-backend(1), will pass GIT_NAMESPACE through to the backend programs;
       see git-http-backend(1) for sample configuration to expose repository namespaces as repositories.

       For a simple local test, you can use git-remote-ext(1):

           git clone ext::'git --namespace=foo %s /tmp/prefixed.git'


SECURITY
       Anyone with access to any namespace within a repository can potentially access objects from any other
       namespace stored in the same repository. You can't directly say "give me object ABCD" if you don't
       have a ref to it, but you can do some other sneaky things like:

        1. Claiming to push ABCD, at which point the server will optimize out the need for you to actually
           send it. Now you have a ref to ABCD and can fetch it (claiming not to have it, of course).

        2. Requesting other refs, claiming that you have ABCD, at which point the server may generate deltas
           against ABCD.

       None of this causes a problem if you only host public repositories, or if everyone who may read one
       namespace may also read everything in every other namespace (for instance, if everyone in an
       organization has read permission to every repository).
