2017-11-13Documentation: convert SubmittingPatches to AsciiDocLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+1
The SubmittingPatches document is often cited by outside parties as an example of good practices to follow, including logical, independent commits; patch sign-offs; and sending patches to a mailing list. Currently, people who want to cite a particular section tend to either refer to it by name and let the interested party search through the document to find it, or link to a given line number on GitHub and hope the file doesn't change. Instead, convert the document to AsciiDoc. Build it as part of the technical documentation, since it is likely of interest to the same group of people. Provide stable links to the sections which outside parties are likely to want to link to. Make some minor structural changes to organize it so that it can be formatted sanely. Since the makefile needs a .txt extension in order to build with the rest of the documentation, simply copy the file. Ignore the temporary file so it doesn't get checked in accidentally, and remove it as part of the clean process. Do this instead of renaming the file so that people who have already linked to the documentation (who we're trying to help) don't find their links broken. Avoid symlinking since Windows will not like that. This allows us to render the document as part of the website for the benefit of others who wish to link to it as well as providing a more nicely formatted display for our community and potential contributors.

2013-02-02doc: generate a list of valid merge toolsLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+1
Use the show_tool_names() function to build lists of all the built-in tools supported by difftool and mergetool. This frees us from needing to update the documentation whenever a new tool is added. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-08-08Documentation: ignore *.pdf filesLibravatar Emilio G. Cota1-0/+1
user-manual.pdf is generated by the build and therefore should be ignored by git. Signed-off-by: Emilio G. Cota <cota@braap.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-12-05Documentation: Avoid use of xmlto --stringparamLibravatar Todd Zullinger1-0/+1
The --stringparam option is not available on older xmlto versions. Instead, set man.base.url.for.relative.links via a .xsl file. Older docbook versions will ignore this without causing grief to users of older xmlto versions. Signed-off-by: Todd Zullinger <tmz@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-12-14Start preparing the API documents.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Most of them are still stubs, but the procedure to build the HTML documentation, maintaining the index and installing the end product are there. I placed names of people who are likely to know the most about the topic in the stub files, so that volunteers will know whom to ask questions as needed.

We do not copy this file from elsewhere anymore. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2007-01-18Documentation: Generate command lists.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
This moves the source of the list of commands and categorization to the end of Documentation/cmd-list.perl, so that re-categorization and re-ordering would become easier to manage. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-01-24Don't include ../README in git.txt - make a local copyLibravatar Pavel Roskin1-0/+1
asciidoc 7.0.4 and newer considers such includes from parent directory unsafe. Signed-off-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2005-11-07Fix documentation dependency generation.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Documentation/Makefile spent a lot of time to generate include dependencies, which was quite noticeable especially during "make clean". Rewrite it to generate just a single dependency file. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
