2011-06-27git-instaweb: Check that correct config file exists for (re)startLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-4/+4
Currently start/restart does not generate any configuration files for spawning a new instance. This means that $ git instaweb --http=<server> --start might pick up stale 'httpd.conf' file for a different web server (e.g. for default lighttpd when requesting apache2). This commit changes that, and makes git-instaweb generate web server config file and/or gitweb config file if don't exists. This required naming config files after the name of web server (alternate solution would be to somehow mark for which web server was config file generated). Note that web servers that embed configuration in server script file, namely webrick and plackup, and which delete "$conf" in their *_conf function, would have their config (server script) always regenerated. Note: this commit introduces a bit of code repetition (but only a few lines).

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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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.
2010-09-03Merge branch 'jc/maint-doc-em-dash'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
* jc/maint-doc-em-dash: Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc
2010-08-24Work around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDocLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+3
Older versions of AsciiDoc used to literally pass double dashes when we used them in our linkgit macros and manpage titles, but newer ones (the issue was first reported with AsciiDoc 8.5.2) turn them into em dashes. Define litdd (literal double-dash) custom attribute in asciidoc.conf to work this around. While we are at it, fix a few double-dashes (e.g. the description of "project--devo--version" convention used by tla, among other things) that used to be incorrectly written as em dashes in the body text to also use this attribute.

2010-06-02git-instaweb: Add support for running gitweb via 'plackup'Libravatar Jakub Narebski1-1/+1
PSGI is an interface between Perl web applications and web servers, and Plack is a Perl module and toolkit that contains PSGI middleware, helpers and adapters to web servers; see http://plackperl.org PSGI and Plack are inspired by Python's WSGI and Ruby's Rack (and probably JavaScript's Jack/JSGI). Plack core distribution includes HTTP::Server::PSGI, a reference PSGI standalone web server implementation. 'plackup' is a command line launcher to run PSGI applications from command line, connecting web app to a web server via Plack::Runner module. By default it uses HTTP::Server::PSGI as a web server. git-instaweb generates gitweb.psgi wrapper (in $GIT_DIR/gitweb). This wrapper uses Plack::App::WrapCGI to compile gitweb.cgi (which is a CGI script) into a PSGI application using CGI::Compile and CGI::Emulate::PSGI. git-instaweb then runs this wrapper, using by default HTTP::Server::PSGI standalone Perl server, via Plack::Runner. The configuration for 'plackup' is currently embedded in generated gitweb.psgi wrapper, instead of using httpd.conf ($conf). To run git-instaweb with '--httpd=plackup', you need to have instaled Plack core, CGI::Emulate::PSGI, CGI::Compile. Those modules have to be available for Perl scripts (which can be done for example by setting PERL5LIB environment variable). This is currently not documented.

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.

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 Nieder1-2/+2
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 Nieder1-2/+2
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 Beyer1-5/+10
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.

2007-10-15instaweb: support for Ruby's WEBrick serverLibravatar Mike Dalessio1-1/+1
running the webrick server with git requires Ruby and Ruby's YAML and Webrick libraries (both of which come standard with Ruby). nice for single-user standalone invocations. the --httpd=webrick option generates a ruby script on the fly to read httpd.conf options and invoke the web server via library call. this script is placed in the .git/gitweb directory. it also generates a shell script in a feeble attempt to invoke ruby in a portable manner, which assumes that 'ruby' is in the user's $PATH.
