    `git update-server-info` is your friend; it generates the auxiliary files needed to allow clients to make range requests against packs.

    For example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;andrewaylett.github.io&#x2F;rgitweb&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;andrewaylett.github.io&#x2F;rgitweb&#x2F; is a repository viewer that runs against a static git repo. It doesn&#x27;t care what you&#x27;re storing the pack in, just that the data is there to make the right range requests.
