2020-11-04doc: clarify that --abbrev=<n> is about the minimum lengthLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+2
Early text written in 2006 explains the "--abbrev=<n>" option to "show only a partial prefix", without saying that the length of the partial prefix is not necessarily the number given to the option to ensure that the output names the object uniquely. Update documentation for the diff family of commands, "blame", "branch --verbose", "ls-files" and "ls-tree" to stress that the short prefix must uniquely refer to an object, and <n> is merely the mininum number of hexdigits used in the prefix.

2017-03-02Documentation: improve description for core.quotePathLibravatar Andreas Heiduk1-3/+7
Linking the description for pathname quoting to the configuration variable "core.quotePath" removes inconstistent and incomplete sections while also giving two hints how to deal with it: Either with "-c core.quotePath=false" or with "-z".

2016-06-28doc: typeset short command-line options as literalLibravatar Matthieu Moy1-2/+2
It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to Documentation/CodingGuidelines. This was obtained with: perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-12/+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 For (1), they are out of date and incomplete.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 For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless.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.

Use `code snippet` style instead of 'emphasis' for `git cmd ...` according to the following rules: * The SYNOPSIS sections are left untouched. * If the intent is that the user type the command exactly as given, it is `code`. If the user is only loosely referred to a command and/or option, it remains 'emphasised'. Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch>

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>

2007-05-20Add an option to git-ls-tree to display also the size of blobLibravatar Jakub Narebski1-1/+13
Add -l/--long option to git-ls-tree command, which displays object size of a blob entry. Object size is placed after object id (left-justified with minimum width of 7 characters). For non-blob entries `-' is used. Rationale: for non-blob entries size of an object has no much meaning, and is not very interesting. Moreover, in planned pack v4 tree objects would be constructed on demand, so tree size would need to be calculated.

This patch aims to freshen up a bit the git-ls-tree documentation. It hints that the list of paths are in fact patterns to be matched, explains the new -t, --name-only and --name-status options, corrects the original autorship information to refer to yours sincerely, corrects several grammar mistakes, etc. Since the documentation still deserves some significant work (at least proper description of the pattern matching), I also added the stub notice.

2005-05-29[PATCH] Rewrite ls-tree to behave more like "/bin/ls -a"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+12
This is a complete rewrite of ls-tree to make it behave more like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory. Namely, the changes are: - Unlike the old ls-tree behaviour that used paths arguments to restrict output (not that it worked as intended---as pointed out in the mailing list discussion, it was quite incoherent), this rewrite uses paths arguments to specify what to show. - Without arguments, it implicitly uses the root level as its sole argument ("/bin/ls -a" behaves as if "." is given without argument). - Without -r (recursive) flag, it shows the named blob (either file or symlink), or the named tree and its immediate children. - With -r flag, it shows the named path, and recursively descends into it if it is a tree. - With -d flag, it shows the named path and does not show its children even if the path is a tree, nor descends into it recursively. This is still request-for-comments patch. There is no mailing list consensus that this proposed new behaviour is a good one. The patch to t/t3100-ls-tree-restrict.sh illustrates user-visible behaviour changes. Namely: * "git-ls-tree $tree path1 path0" lists path1 first and then path0. It used to use paths as an output restrictor and showed output in cache entry order (i.e. path0 first and then path1) regardless of the order of paths arguments. * "git-ls-tree $tree path2" lists path2 and its immediate children but having explicit paths argument does not imply recursive behaviour anymore, hence paths/baz is shown but not paths/baz/b.
