2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-3/+6
The OPTIONS section of a documentation file contains a list of the options a git command accepts. Currently there are several variants to describe the case that different options (almost) do the same in the OPTIONS section. Some are: -f, --foo:: -f|--foo:: -f | --foo:: But AsciiDoc has the special form: -f:: --foo:: This patch applies this form to the documentation of the whole git suite, and removes useless em-dash prevention, so \--foo becomes --foo.

2008-06-06documentation: move git(7) to git(1)Libravatar Christian Couder1-1/+1
As the "git" man page describes the "git" command at the end-user level, it seems better to move it to man section 1. Signed-off-by: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-01-06Documentation: rename gitlink macro to linkgitLibravatar Dan McGee1-1/+1
Between AsciiDoc 8.2.2 and 8.2.3, the following change was made to the stock Asciidoc configuration: @@ -149,7 +153,10 @@ # Inline macros. # Backslash prefix required for escape processing. # (?s) re flag for line spanning. -(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>\w(\w|-)*?):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + +# Explicit so they can be nested. +(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|https|ftp|file|mailto|callto|image|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])= + # Anchor: [[[id]]]. Bibliographic anchor. (?su)[\\]?\[\[\[(?P<attrlist>[\w][\w-]*?)\]\]\]=anchor3 # Anchor: [[id,xreflabel]] This default regex now matches explicit values, and unfortunately in this case gitlink was being matched by just 'link', causing the wrong inline macro template to be applied. By renaming the macro, we can avoid being matched by the wrong regex. Signed-off-by: Dan McGee <dpmcgee@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-12-05git config --get-colorboolLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+10
This adds an option to help scripts find out color settings from the configuration file. git config --get-colorbool color.diff inspects color.diff variable, and exits with status 0 (i.e. success) if color is to be used. It exits with status 1 otherwise. If a script wants "true"/"false" answer to the standard output of the command, it can pass an additional boolean parameter to its command line, telling if its standard output is a terminal, like this: git config --get-colorbool color.diff true When called like this, the command outputs "true" to its standard output if color is to be used (i.e. "color.diff" says "always", "auto", or "true"), and "false" otherwise.

2007-11-28git-config --get-color: get configured colorLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+16
This new option allows scripts to grab color setting from the user configuration, translated to ANSI color escape sequence. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-09-14Documentation/git-config.txt: AsciiDoc tweak to avoid leading dotLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Bram Schoenmakers noticed that git-config document was formatted incorrectly. Depending on the version of AsciiDoc and docbook toolchain, it is sometimes taken as a numbered example by AsciiDoc, some other times passed intact to roff format to confuse "man". Since we refer to the repository metadata directory as $GIT_DIR elsewhere, work it around by using that symbolic name. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-08-02Fix documentation for core.gitproxy to reflect codeLibravatar David Symonds1-3/+1
The current implementation of core.gitproxy only operates on git:// URLs, so the ssh:// examples and custom protocol examples have been removed or edited. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-07-31Add an option to specify a file to config builtinLibravatar Alex Riesen1-13/+16
There are (really!) systems where using environment variables is very cumbersome (yes, Windows, it has problems unsetting them). Besides this form is shorter. Signed-off-by: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-06-26config: Complete documentation of --get-regexpLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-0/+2

2007-06-07War on whitespaceLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+0
This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time. There are a few files that need to have trailing whitespaces (most notably, test vectors). The results still passes the test, and build result in Documentation/ area is unchanged.

2007-05-30git-config: Improve documentation of git-config file handlingLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-7/+59

2007-05-30git-config: Various small fixes to asciidoc documentationLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-4/+6

2007-05-20git-config: Correct asciidoc documentation for --int/--boolLibravatar Frank Lichtenheld1-8/+9

2007-03-14Clarify doc for git-config --unset-all.Libravatar Yann Dirson1-1/+1
Previous formulation could make it appear as removing all lines matching a regexp (at least, I was looking for such a flag, and confused this flag for what I was looking for). Signed-off-by: Yann Dirson <ydirson@altern.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
