2010-07-19Documentation: Explain git-mergetool's use of temporary filesLibravatar David Aguilar1-0/+10
'git mergetool' creates '*.orig' backup files in its default configuration. Mention this in its documentation. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-01-10Documentation: spell 'git cmd' without dash throughoutLibravatar Thomas Rast1-8/+8
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.

2009-05-24mergetool--lib: add support for araxis mergeLibravatar David Aguilar1-1/+1
Araxis merge is now a built-in diff/merge tool. This adds araxis to git-completion and updates the documentation to mention araxis. Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-04-07difftool/mergetool: add diffuse as merge and diff toolLibravatar Sebastian Pipping1-1/+1

2009-04-07git-mergetool: add new merge tool TortoiseMergeLibravatar Markus Heidelberg1-1/+2
TortoiseMerge comes with TortoiseSVN or TortoiseGit for Windows. It can only be used as a merge tool with an existing base file. It cannot be used without a base nor as a diff tool. The documentation only mentions the slash '/' as command line option prefix, which refused to work, but the parser also accepts the dash '-' See http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=226 Signed-off-by: Markus Heidelberg <markus.heidelberg@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-17Documentation: let asciidoc align related optionsLibravatar Markus Heidelberg1-2/+4
Fixes the description of the -t option in git-mergetool, which failed to hint that it takes an argument. Signed-off-by: Markus Heidelberg <markus.heidelberg@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-01-01Merge branch 'cb/mergetool'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+10
* cb/mergetool: mergetool: Don't keep temporary merge files unless told to mergetool: Add prompt to continue after failing to merge a file Add -y/--no-prompt option to mergetool Fix some tab/space inconsistencies in git-mergetool.sh

2008-11-14Add -y/--no-prompt option to mergetoolLibravatar Charles Bailey1-1/+10
This option lets git mergetool invoke the conflict resolution program without waiting for a user prompt each time. Also added a mergetool.prompt (default true) configuration variable controlling the same behaviour Signed-off-by: Charles Bailey <charles@hashpling.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-07-05manpages: italicize git command names (which were in teletype font)Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-8/+8
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 Nieder1-8/+8
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>
2008-06-06documentation: 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>
2008-03-08merge-tool documentation: describe custom command usageLibravatar Charles Bailey1-0/+22

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]]].

2007-10-18mergetool: use path to mergetool in config var mergetool.<tool>.pathLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-0/+6
This commit adds a mechanism to provide absolute paths to the external programs called by 'git mergetool'. A path can be specified in the configuation variable mergetool.<tool>.path. The configuration variable is similar to how we name branches and remotes. It is extensible if we need to specify more details about a tool. The mechanism is especially useful on Windows, where external programs are unlikely to be in PATH.

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.
