Se o trabalho de Bob conflita +com o que Alice fez desde que suas histórias se ramificaram, Alice irá +usar seu diretório de trabalho e o índice para resolver conflitos, e +mudanças locais existentes irão interferir com o processo de resolução +de conflitos (git ainda irá realizar a obtenção mas irá se recusar a +unificar --- Alice terá que se livrar de suas mudanças locais de alguma +forma e puxar de novo quando isso acontecer). + +Alice pode espiar o que Bob fez sem unificar primeiro, usando o comando +"fetch"; isto permite Alice inspecionar o que Bob fez, usando um símbolo +especial "FETCH_HEAD", com o fim de determinar se ele tem alguma coisa +que vale puxar, assim: + +------------------------------------------------ +alice$ git fetch /home/bob/myrepo master +alice$ git log -p HEAD..FETCH_HEAD +------------------------------------------------ + +Esta operação é segura mesmo se Alice tem mudanças locais não gravadas. +A notação de intervalo "HEAD..FETCH_HEAD" significa mostrar tudo que é +alcançável de FETCH_HEAD mas exclua tudo o que é alcançável de HEAD. +Alice já sabe tudo que leva a seu estado atual (HEAD), e revisa o que Bob +tem em seu estado (FETCH_HEAD) que ela ainda não viu com esse comando. + +Se Alice quer visualizar o que Bob fez desde que suas histórias se +ramificaram, ela pode disparar o seguinte comando: + +------------------------------------------------ +$ gitk HEAD..FETCH_HEAD +------------------------------------------------ + +Isto usa a mesma notação de intervalo que vimos antes com 'git log'. + +Alice pode querer ver o que ambos fizeram desde que ramificaram. Ela +pode usar a forma com três pontos ao invés da forma com dois pontos: + +------------------------------------------------ +$ gitk HEAD...FETCH_HEAD +------------------------------------------------ + +Isto significa "mostre tudo que é alcançável de qualquer um deles, mas +exclua tudo que é alcançável a partir de ambos". + +Por favor, note que essas notações de intervalo podem ser usadas tanto +com gitk quanto com "git log". + +Após inspecionar o que Bob fez, se não há nada urgente, Alice pode +decidir continuar trabalhando sem puxar de Bob. Se a história de Bob +tem alguma coisa que Alice precisa imediatamente, Alice pode optar por +separar seu trabalho em progresso primeiro, fazer um "pull", e, então, +finalmente, retomar seu trabalho em progresso em cima da história +resultante. + +Quando você está trabalhando em um pequeno grupo unido, não é incomum +interagir com o mesmo repositório várias e várias vezes. Definindo um +repositório remoto antes de tudo, você pode fazê-lo mais facilmente: + +------------------------------------------------ +alice$ git remote add bob /home/bob/myrepo +------------------------------------------------ + +Com isso, Alice pode executar a primeira parte da operação "pull" usando +o comando 'git-fetch' sem unificar suas mudanças com seu próprio ramo, +usando: + +------------------------------------- +alice$ git fetch bob +------------------------------------- + +Diferente da forma longa, quando Alice obteve de Bob usando um +repositório remoto antes definido com 'git-remote', o que foi obtido é +armazenado em um ramo remoto, neste caso `bob/master`. Então, após isso: + +------------------------------------- +alice$ git log -p master..bob/master +------------------------------------- + +mostra uma lista de todas as mudanças que Bob fez desde que ramificou do +ramo master de Alice. + +Após examinar essas mudanças, Alice pode unificá-las em seu ramo master: + +------------------------------------- +alice$ git merge bob/master +------------------------------------- + +Esse `merge` pode também ser feito puxando de seu próprio ramo remoto, +assim: + +------------------------------------- +alice$ git pull . remotes/bob/master +------------------------------------- + +Note que 'git pull' sempre unifica ao ramo atual, independente do que +mais foi passado na linha de comando. + +Depois, Bob pode atualizar seu repositório com as últimas mudanças de +Alice, usando + +------------------------------------- +bob$ git pull +------------------------------------- + +Note que ele não precisa dar o caminho do repositório de Alice; quando +Bob clonou seu repositório, o git armazenou a localização de seu +repositório na configuração do mesmo, e essa localização é usada +para puxar: + +------------------------------------- +bob$ git config --get remote.origin.url +/home/alice/project +------------------------------------- + +(A configuração completa criada por 'git-clone' é visível usando `git +config -l`, e a página de manual linkgit:git-config[1] explica o +significado de cada opção.) + +Git também mantém uma cópia limpa do ramo master de Alice sob o nome +"origin/master": + +------------------------------------- +bob$ git branch -r + origin/master +------------------------------------- + +Se Bob decidir depois em trabalhar em um host diferente, ele ainda pode +executar clones e puxar usando o protocolo ssh: + +------------------------------------- +bob$ git clone alice.org:/home/alice/project myrepo +------------------------------------- + +Alternativamente, o git tem um protocolo nativo, ou pode usar rsync ou +http; veja linkgit:git-pull[1] para detalhes. + +Git pode também ser usado em um modo parecido com CVS, com um +repositório central para o qual vários usuários empurram modificações; +veja linkgit:git-push[1] e linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7]. + +Explorando história +----------------- + +A história no git é representada como uma série de commits +interrelacionados.

Você pode usar qualquer +parte inicial do nome que seja longo o bastante para identificar +unicamente o commit: + +------------------------------------- +$ git show c82a22c39c # os primeiros caracteres do nome são o bastante + # usualmente +$ git show HEAD # a ponta do ramo atual +$ git show experimental # a ponta do ramo "experimental" +------------------------------------- + +Todo commit normalmente tem um commit "pai" que aponta para o estado +anterior do projeto: + +------------------------------------- +$ git show HEAD^ # para ver o pai de HEAD +$ git show HEAD^^ # para ver o avô de HEAD +$ git show HEAD~4 # para ver o trisavô de HEAD +------------------------------------- + +Note que commits de unificação podem ter mais de um pai: + +------------------------------------- +$ git show HEAD^1 # mostra o primeiro pai de HEAD (o mesmo que HEAD^) +$ git show HEAD^2 # mostra o segundo pai de HEAD +------------------------------------- + +Você também pode dar aos commits nomes à sua escolha; após executar + +------------------------------------- +$ git tag v2.5 1b2e1d63ff +------------------------------------- + +você pode se referir a 1b2e1d63ff pelo nome "v2.5". Se você pretende +compartilhar esse nome com outras pessoas (por exemplo, para identificar +uma versão de lançamento), você deveria criar um objeto "tag", e talvez +assiná-lo; veja linkgit:git-tag[1] para detalhes. + +Qualquer comando git que precise conhecer um commit pode receber +quaisquer desses nomes. Por exemplo: + +------------------------------------- +$ git diff v2.5 HEAD # compara o HEAD atual com v2.5 +$ git branch stable v2.5 # inicia um novo ramo chamado "stable" baseado + # em v2.5 +$ git reset --hard HEAD^ # reseta seu ramo atual e seu diretório de + # trabalho a seu estado em HEAD^ +------------------------------------- + +Seja cuidadoso com o último comando: além de perder quaisquer mudanças +em seu diretório de trabalho, ele também remove todos os commits +posteriores desse ramo. Se esse ramo é o único ramo contendo esses +commits, eles serão perdidos. Também, não use 'git-reset' num ramo +publicamente visível de onde outros desenvolvedores puxam, já que vai +forçar unificações desnecessárias para que outros desenvolvedores limpem +a história. Se você precisa desfazer mudanças que você empurrou, use +'git-revert' no lugar. + +O comando 'git-grep' pode buscar strings em qualquer versão de seu +projeto, então + +------------------------------------- +$ git grep "hello" v2.5 +------------------------------------- + +procura por todas as ocorrências de "hello" em v2.5. + +Se você deixar de fora o nome do commit, 'git-grep' irá procurar +quaisquer dos arquivos que ele gerencia no diretório corrente. Então + +------------------------------------- +$ git grep "hello" +------------------------------------- + +é uma forma rápida de buscar somente os arquivos que são rastreados pelo +git. + +Muitos comandos git também recebem um conjunto de commits, o que pode +ser especificado de várias formas. Aqui estão alguns exemplos com 'git-log': + +------------------------------------- +$ git log v2.5..v2.6 # commits entre v2.5 e v2.6 +$ git log v2.5.. # commits desde v2.5 +$ git log --since="2 weeks ago" # commits das últimas 2 semanas +$ git log v2.5.. Makefile # commits desde v2.5 que modificam + # Makefile +------------------------------------- + +Você também pode dar ao 'git-log' um "intervalo" de commits onde o +primeiro não é necessariamente um ancestral do segundo; por exemplo, se +as pontas dos ramos "stable" e "master" divergiram de um commit +comum algum tempo atrás, então + +------------------------------------- +$ git log stable..master +------------------------------------- + +irá listar os commits feitos no ramo "master" mas não no ramo +"stable", enquanto + +------------------------------------- +$ git log master..stable +------------------------------------- + +irá listar a lista de commits feitos no ramo "stable" mas não no ramo +"master". + +O comando 'git-log' tem uma fraqueza: ele precisa mostrar os commits em +uma lista. Quando a história tem linhas de desenvolvimento que +divergiram e então foram unificadas novamente, a ordem em que 'git-log' +apresenta essas mudanças é irrelevante. + +A maioria dos projetos com múltiplos contribuidores (como o kernel +Linux, ou o próprio git) tem unificações frequentes, e 'gitk' faz um +trabalho melhor de visualizar sua história. Por exemplo, + +------------------------------------- +$ gitk --since="2 weeks ago" drivers/ +------------------------------------- + +permite a você navegar em quaisquer commits desde as últimas duas semanas +de commits que modificaram arquivos sob o diretório "drivers". (Nota: +você pode ajustar as fontes do gitk segurando a tecla control enquanto +pressiona "-" ou "+".) + +Finalmente, a maioria dos comandos que recebem nomes de arquivo permitirão +também, opcionalmente, preceder qualquer nome de arquivo por um +commit, para especificar uma versão particular do arquivo: + +------------------------------------- +$ git diff v2.5:Makefile HEAD:Makefile.in +------------------------------------- + +Você pode usar 'git-show' para ver tal arquivo: + +------------------------------------- +$ git show v2.5:Makefile +------------------------------------- + +Próximos passos +---------- + +Este tutorial deve ser o bastante para operar controle de revisão +distribuído básico para seus projetos. No entanto, para entender +plenamente a profundidade e o poder do git você precisa entender duas +idéias simples nas quais ele se baseia: + + * A base de objetos é um sistema bem elegante usado para armazenar a + história de seu projeto--arquivos, diretórios, e commits. + + * O arquivo de índice é um cache do estado de uma árvore de diretório, + usado para criar commits, restaurar diretórios de trabalho, e + armazenar as várias árvores envolvidas em uma unificação. + +A parte dois deste tutorial explica a base de objetos, o arquivo de +índice, e algumas outras coisinhas que você vai precisar pra usar o +máximo do git. Você pode encontrá-la em linkgit:gittutorial-2[7]. + +Se você não quiser continuar com o tutorial agora nesse momento, algumas +outras digressões que podem ser interessantes neste ponto são: + + * linkgit:git-format-patch[1], linkgit:git-am[1]: Estes convertem + séries de commits em patches para email, e vice-versa, úteis para + projetos como o kernel Linux que dependem fortemente de patches + enviados por email. + + * linkgit:git-bisect[1]: Quando há uma regressão em seu projeto, uma + forma de rastrear um bug é procurando pela história para encontrar o + commit culpado. Git bisect pode ajudar a executar uma busca binária + por esse commit. Ele é inteligente o bastante para executar uma + busca próxima da ótima mesmo no caso de uma história complexa + não-linear com muitos ramos unificados. + + * link:everyday.html[GIT diariamente com 20 e tantos comandos] + + * linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7]: Git para usuários de CVS. + +VEJA TAMBÉM +-------- +linkgit:gittutorial-2[7], +linkgit:gitcvs-migration[7], +linkgit:gitcore-tutorial[7], +linkgit:gitglossary[7], +linkgit:git-help[1], +link:everyday.html[git diariamente], +link:user-manual.html[O Manual do Usuário git] + +GIT +--- +Parte da suite linkgit:git[1]. diff --git a/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt b/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt index 11eec941df..bf66116d61 100644 --- a/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt +++ b/Documentation/rev-list-options.txt @@ -201,6 +201,10 @@ endif::git-rev-list[] Stop when a given path disappears from the tree. +--merges:: + + Print only merge commits. + --no-merges:: Do not print commits with more than one parent. diff --git a/Documentation/technical/api-parse-options.txt b/Documentation/technical/api-parse-options.txt index e66ca9f70c..50f9e9ac17 100644 --- a/Documentation/technical/api-parse-options.txt +++ b/Documentation/technical/api-parse-options.txt @@ -60,13 +60,13 @@ Steps to parse options . in `cmd_foo(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix)` call - argc = parse_options(argc, argv, builtin_foo_options, builtin_foo_usage, flags); + argc = parse_options(argc, argv, prefix, builtin_foo_options, builtin_foo_usage, flags); + `parse_options()` will filter out the processed options of `argv[]` and leave the non-option arguments in `argv[]`. `argc` is updated appropriately because of the assignment. + -You can also pass NULL instead of a usage array as fourth parameter of +You can also pass NULL instead of a usage array as the fifth parameter of parse_options(), to avoid displaying a help screen with usage info and option list.
