+.SH "NAME"
+git-retry \- Bootstrap function to retry a git command\&.

+.sp
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.sp
+git retry is a bootstrap that wraps a standard git command execution in a fault\-tolerant retry wrapper\&.
+.sp
+If a retry succeeds, the return code of the successful attempt is returned\&. Otherwise, the return code of the last failed attempt is returned\&.
+.sp
+The wrapper is aware of git\-specific failure conditions and will only consider retrying if a given failure can be linked to such a condition\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+<git_subcommand>
+.RS 4
+The
+git
+command to retry\&. This should omit the actual
+git
+command (e\&.g\&., to retry
+git clone, use
+git retry clone)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-v, \-\-verbose
+.RS 4
+Increases logging verbosity\&. By default, no additional logging is generated by the
+git retry
+command\&. This can be specified multiple times\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-c, \-\-retry\-count \fIcount\fR
+.RS 4
+Specify the number of retries that should be performed before giving up\&. The default retry count is
+\fB5\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-d, \-\-delay \fIseconds\fR
+.RS 4
+Floating\-point value that specifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait after a failure\&. This can be zero to specify no delay\&. The default delay is
+\fB3 seconds\fR\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\-D, \-\-delay\-factor
+.RS 4
+The exponential factor to apply to the delay\&. By default this is
+\fB2\fR\&. For a given retry round
+\fBn\fR, the delay for that round will be
+\fB(<delay\-factor>^(n\-1) * delay)\fR\&. If no delay is specified, this will have no effect\&. If the delay factor is
+\fB0\fR, the delay will increase linearly (for a given retry round
+\fBn\fR, the delay will be
+\fB(n * delay)\fR)\&.
+.sp
+.if n \{\
+.RS 4
+.\}
+.nf
+(Note that a delay factor of *1* will result in a constant delay\&.)
+.fi
+.if n \{\
+.RE
+.\}
+.RE
+.SH "EXIT STATUS"
+.sp
+Upon success, git retry will exit with the successful exit code of \fB0\fR\&. On failure, it will exit with the exit code of the last failed attempt\&.
+.SH "CHROMIUM DEPOT_TOOLS"
+.sp
+Part of the chromium \fBdepot_tools\fR(7) suite\&. These tools are meant to assist with the development of chromium and related projects\&. Download the tools from \m[blue]\fBhere\fR\m[]\&\s-2\u[1]\d\s+2\&.
