2018-05-02doc: keep first level section header in upper caseLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-2/+2
When formatted as a man page, 1st section header is always in upper case even if we write it otherwise. Make all 1st section headers uppercase to keep it close to the final output. This does affect html since case is kept there, but I still think it's a good idea to maintain a consistent style for 1st section headers. Some sections perhaps should become second sections instead, where case is kept, and for better organization. I will update if anyone has suggestions about this. While at there I also make some header more consistent (e.g. examples vs example) and fix a couple minor things here and there.

2017-11-17add: introduce "--renormalize"Libravatar Torsten Bögershausen1-1/+8
Make it safer to normalize the line endings in a repository. Files that had been commited with CRLF will be commited with LF. The old way to normalize a repo was like this: # Make sure that there are not untracked files $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ git read-tree --empty $ git add . $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization" The user must make sure that there are no untracked files, otherwise they would have been added and tracked from now on. The new "add --renormalize" does not add untracked files: $ echo "* text=auto" >.gitattributes $ git add --renormalize . $ git commit -m "Introduce end-of-line normalization" Note that "git add --renormalize <pathspec>" is the short form for "git add -u --renormalize <pathspec>". While at it, document that the same renormalization may be needed, whenever a clean filter is added or changed.

Doc updates. * mr/doc-negative-pathspec: docs: improve discoverability of exclude pathspec
2017-09-25docs: improve discoverability of exclude pathspecLibravatar Manav Rathi1-0/+3
The ability to exclude paths with a negative pathspec is not mentioned in the man pages for git grep and other commands where it might be useful. Add an example and a pointer to the pathspec glossary entry in the man page for git grep to help the user to discover this ability. Add similar pointers from the git-add and git-status man pages. Additionally, - Add a test for the behaviour when multiple exclusions are present. - Add a test for the ^ alias. - Improve name of existing test. - Improve grammar in glossary description of the exclude pathspec.

2017-06-15add: warn when adding an embedded repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+7
It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another repository, like: git clone $url git add . The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching .gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely. In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually adding the submodule config. In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in their .gitignore file. Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few things to note: - the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is welcome to create whatever funny states they want. - we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink; updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable, and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules entirely - there's a command-line option to suppress the warning. This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the entry before adding any submodule config), but also provides a mechanism for other scripts doing submodule-like things. We could make this a hard error instead of a warning. However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with a gentle hint is probably the best option. There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is generally about context, not about the user's preferences. If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the warning.

Make "git add <pathspec>..." notice paths that have been removed from the working tree, i.e. the same as "git add -A <pathspec>...". Given that "git add <pathspec>" is to update the index with the state of the named part of the working tree as a whole, it makes it more intuitive, and also makes it possible to simplify the advice we give while marking the paths the user finished resolving conflicts with. We used to say "to record removal as a resolution, remove the path from the working tree and say 'git rm'; for all other cases, edit the path in the working tree and say 'git add'", but we can now say "update the path in the working tree and say 'git add'" instead.

2013-04-22git add: --ignore-removal is a better named --no-allLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+6
In the historical context of "git add --all ." that pays attention to "all kinds of changes" (implying "without ignoring removals"), the option to countermand it "--no-all" may have made sense, but because we will be making "--all" the default when a pathspec is given, it makes more sense to rename the option to a more explicit "--ignore-removal". The "--all" option naturally becomes its negation, "--no-ignore-removal". Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-03-08git add: start preparing for "git add <pathspec>..." to default to "-A"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+13
When "git add subdir/" is run without "-u" or "-A" option, e.g. $ edit subdir/x $ create subdir/y $ rm subdir/z $ git add subdir/ the command does not notice removal of paths (e.g. subdir/z) from the working tree. This sometimes confuses new people, as arguably "git add" is told to record the current state of "subdir/" as a whole, not the current state of the paths that exist in the working tree that matches that pathspec (the latter by definition excludes the state of "subdir/z" because it does not exist in the working tree). Plan to eventually make "git add" pretend as if "-A" is given when there is a pathspec on the command line. When resolving a conflict to remove a path, the current code tells you to "git rm $path", but with such a change, you will be able to say "git add $path" (of course you can do "git add -A $path" today). That means that we can simplify the advice messages given by "git status". That all will be in Git 2.0 or later, if we are going to do so. For that transition to work, people need to learn either to say "git add --no-all subdir/" when they want to ignore the removed paths like "subdir/z", or to say "git add -A subdir/" when they want to take the state of the directory as a whole. "git add" without any argument will continue to be a no-op. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-02-12Replace filepattern with pathspec for consistencyLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-5/+5

2013-01-28add: warn when -u or -A is used without pathspecLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-3/+4
Most Git commands that can be used with or without pathspec operate tree-wide by default, the pathspec being used to restrict their scope. A few exceptions are: 'git grep', 'git clean', 'git add -u' and 'git add -A'. When run in a subdirectory without pathspec, they operate only on paths in the current directory. The inconsistency of 'git add -u' and 'git add -A' is particularly problematic since other 'git add' subcommands (namely 'git add -p' and 'git add -e') are tree-wide by default. It also means that "git add -u && git commit" will record a state that is different from what is recorded with "git commit -a". Flipping the default now is unacceptable, so let's start training users to type 'git add -u|-A :/' or 'git add -u|-A .' explicitly, to prepare for the next steps: * forbid 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec (like 'git add' without option) * much later, maybe, re-allow 'git add -u|-A' without pathspec, that will add all tracked and modified files, or all files, tree-wide. A nice side effect of this patch is that it makes the :/ magic pathspec easier to discover for users. When the command is called from the root of the tree, there is no ambiguity and no need to change the behavior, hence no need to warn.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-8/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.
