2010-02-18Add an optional argument for --color optionsLibravatar Mark Lodato1-2/+4
Make git-branch, git-show-branch, git-grep, and all the diff-based programs accept an optional argument <when> for --color. The argument is a colorbool: "always", "never", or "auto". If no argument is given, "always" is used; --no-color is an alias for --color=never. This makes the command-line interface consistent with other GNU tools, such as `ls' and `grep', and with the git-config color options. Note that, without an argument, --color and --no-color work exactly as before. To implement this, two internal changes were made: 1. Allow the first argument of git_config_colorbool() to be NULL, in which case it returns -1 if the argument isn't "always", "never", or "auto". 2. Add OPT_COLOR_FLAG(), OPT__COLOR(), and parse_opt_color_flag_cb() to the option parsing library. The callback uses git_config_colorbool(), so color.h is now a dependency of parse-options.c.

2010-02-16grep documentation: clarify what files matchLibravatar Mark Lodato1-5/+12
Clarify that git-grep(1) searches only tracked files, and that each <pathspec> is a pathspec, as in any other ordinary git commands. Add an example to show a simple use case for searching all .c and .h files in the current directory and below.

2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-1/+1
The documentation was quite inconsistent when spelling 'git cmd' if it only refers to the program, not to some specific invocation syntax: both 'git-cmd' and 'git cmd' spellings exist. The current trend goes towards dashless forms, and there is precedent in 647ac70 (git-svn.txt: stop using dash-form of commands., 2009-07-07) to actively eliminate the dashed variants. Replace 'git-cmd' with 'git cmd' throughout, except where git-shell, git-cvsserver, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, and git-upload-archive are concerned, because those really live in the $PATH.
2009-07-22grep: Add --max-depth option.Libravatar Michał Kiedrowicz1-0/+5
It is useful to grep directories non-recursively, e.g. when one wants to look for all files in the toplevel directory, but not in any subdirectory, or in Documentation/, but not in Documentation/technical/. This patch adds support for --max-depth <depth> option to git-grep. If it is given, git-grep descends at most <depth> levels of directories below paths specified on the command line. Note that if path specified on command line contains wildcards, this option makes no sense, e.g. $ git grep -l --max-depth 0 GNU -- 'contrib/*' (note the quotes) will search all files in contrib/, even in subdirectories, because '*' matches all files. Documentation updates, bash-completion and simple test cases are also provided. Signed-off-by: Michał Kiedrowicz <michal.kiedrowicz@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-07-01grep -p: support user defined regular expressionsLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+3
Respect the userdiff attributes and config settings when looking for lines with function definitions in git grep -p. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-07-01grep: add option -p/--show-functionLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+5
The new option -p instructs git grep to print the previous function definition as a context line, similar to diff -p. Such context lines are marked with an equal sign instead of a dash. This option complements the existing context options -A, -B, -C. Function definitions are detected using the same heuristic that diff uses. User defined regular expressions are not supported, yet.

2009-03-07grep: color patterns in outputLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+8
Coloring matches makes them easier to spot in the output. Add two options and two parameters: color.grep (to turn coloring on or off), color.grep.match (to set the color of matches), --color and --no-color (to turn coloring on or off, respectively). The output of external greps is not changed. This patch is based on earlier ones by Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy and Thiago Alves.

2008-10-01git grep: Add "-z/--null" option as in GNU's grep.Libravatar Raphael Zimmerer1-0/+6
Here's a trivial patch that adds "-z" and "--null" options to "git grep". It was discussed on the mailing-list that git's "-z" convention should be used instead of GNU grep's "-Z". So things like 'git grep -l -z "$FOO" | xargs -0 sed -i "s/$FOO/$BOO/"' do work now. Signed-off-by: Raphael Zimmerer <killekulla@rdrz.de> Signed-off-by: Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
The names of git commands are not meant to be entered at the commandline; they are just names. So we render them in italics, as is usual for command names in manpages. Using doit () { perl -e 'for (<>) { s/\`(git-[^\`.]*)\`/'\''\1'\''/g; print }' } for i in git*.txt config.txt diff*.txt blame*.txt fetch*.txt i18n.txt \ merge*.txt pretty*.txt pull*.txt rev*.txt urls*.txt do doit <"$i" >"$i+" && mv "$i+" "$i" done git diff .

2008-07-01Documentation formatting and cleanupLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Following what appears to be the predominant style, format names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`. While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

2008-07-01Documentation: be consistent about "git-" versus "git "Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
Since the git-* commands are not installed in $(bindir), using "git-command <parameters>" in examples in the documentation is not a good idea. On the other hand, it is nice to be able to refer to each command using one hyphenated word. (There is no escaping it, anyway: man page names cannot have spaces in them.) This patch retains the dash in naming an operation, command, program, process, or action. Complete command lines that can be entered at a shell (i.e., without options omitted) are made to use the dashless form. The changes consist only of replacing some spaces with hyphens and vice versa. After a "s/ /-/g", the unpatched and patched versions are identical. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-08Docs: Use "-l::\n--long\n" format in OPTIONS sectionsLibravatar Stephan Beyer1-10/+27
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.

2008-02-20Teach git-grep --name-only as synonym for -lLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-1/+3
I expected git grep --name-only to give me only the file names, much as git diff --name-only only generates filenames. Alas the option is -l, which matches common external greps but doesn't match other parts of the git UI. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

This uses "git-apply --whitespace=strip" to fix whitespace errors that have crept in to our source files over time.

2006-09-27grep --all-matchLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+10
This lets you say: git grep --all-match -e A -e B -e C to find lines that match A or B or C but limit the matches from the files that have all of A, B and C. This is different from git grep -e A --and -e B --and -e C in that the latter looks for a single line that has all of these at the same time. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

By default, the command shows pathnames relative to the current directory. Use --full-name (the same flag to do so in ls-files) if you want to see the full pathname relative to the project root.

2006-01-21git-grep: clarification on parameters.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+15
We forgot to make sure that there is no more than one pattern parameter. Also when looking for files in a directory called '--others', it passed that path limiter without preceding the end-of-options marker '--' to underlying git-ls-files, which misunderstood it as one of its options instead. $ git grep --others -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o -e Meta/Make Meta $ git grep -o Meta/Make Meta look for a string "Meta/Make" from untracked files in Meta/ directory. $ git grep Meta/Make --others looks for the same string from tracked files in ./--others directory. On the other hand, $ git grep -e Meta/Make --others does not have a freestanding pattern, so everybody is parameter and there is no path specifier. It looks for the string in all the untracked files without any path limiter.
