2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-10/+10
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.

Add information on new git-gui and gitk command-line options, configuration variables, and the encoding attribute. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gavrilov <angavrilov@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: use teletype font for sample command linesLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
I think that some of these uses of italics were meant to be rendered in quotation marks, anyway. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize gitk's name (where it was in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+2
The name `gitk` is sometimes meant to be entered at the command prompt, but most uses are just referring to the program with that name (not the incantation to start it). Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@uchicago.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-10/+10
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 Nieder1-12/+12
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.

2008-06-06documentation: 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 McGee1-2/+2
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.

2007-06-22Document git-gui, git-citool as mainporcelain manual pagesLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+115
Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation. Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists, and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their own documentation system available from within a running git-gui. But not today. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
